      I tracked down the Qatar World Cup’s most expensive beer – it’s only a bottle and it’s not exactly a premium brand

      by

      EVEN for wallet-busting Doha, my bar tab came as a sobering shock.Watching France thrash Australia at popular sports bar Shots I was charged a whopping 65 riyals – that’s around £15 – for a bottle of Becks.

      Two beers and a salad set our reporters back £44Credit: THE SUN/MAX MOLYNEux
      A Saudi Arabia supporter – celebrating his team’s World Cup win over Argentina – told me: “The prices are ludicrous. How are we supposed to party?”
      After a day in the Qatari sunshine my 275ml bottle of Becks  – just over half a pint – disappeared in a flash. 
      And that is approximately 20p per millilitre on beer.
      An apologetic barman told me: “We’ve run out of draught beer tonight so it’s bottles only. Draught will be back on tomorrow.”

      A draught pint of Budweiser in the bar costs 60 riyals (around £13.90).
      The wine list was equally lumpy. A glass of pino grigio would have set me back 70 riyals (around £16.15).
      My bill for the evening at the popular sports bar – inside the Hilton Doha Hotel with stunning views of Doha’s bay – was 190 riyals – around £44 – for two bottles of Becks and Greek salad.
      Fans have been searching for an affordable beer in Doha’s hotel bars with prices in the fan zone also eye-wateringly steep. 
      Most read in The Sun
      The fan zone at Al Bidda Park on the waterfront Corniche has room for 40,000 people – yet there was just one designated beer tent with 78 fridges packed with tins of Budweiser.
      A 500ml glass of the lager goes for 50 riyals – around  £11.50 – and you’re limited to four alcoholic drinks.
      A bog standard slice of pizza to soak it up is around £8.
      Alcohol isn’t served until after 6.30pm and you’re only allowed four measly 500ml cups of World Cup sponsor Budweiser’s fare.
      Only alcohol-free beer is on sale in stadium perimeters.
      According to the 2021 World Beer Index by Expensivity, Qatar has the most expensive beer prices in the world.
      Analysing prices in the capitals of 58 nations, Doha came out tops with a 330ml bottle of beer costing around £9.45.

      But the Tottenham striker believes that barring a set-back, he will be fit and ready to play the second group stage clash on Friday.
      The news is a big relief for manager Gareth Southgate who feared he could lose his star man.

      He was spotted hobbling and had his ankle strapped in the media mixed zone after the clash.

      Following the Iran game, Southgate said: “I think Harry’s fine. It looked a bad tackle but he carried on in the game.
      “We took him off really because we felt it was a moment we could do that.

      Denmark to hold talks with England over QUITTING Fifa amid huge World Cup row about One Love armband ban

      Danish FA (DBU) chairman Jesper Moller said Denmark were considering leaving Fifa and are ready for talks with Uefa’s 55 member nations, which includes England.
      They are willing to discuss a blanket withdrawal from the world governing body.
      The DBU delegation expressed their “anger” at the way Fifa threatened sporting sanctions for the seven captains planning to wear the One Love armband.
      Denmark will not formally support Fifa chief Gianni Infantino in his bid to be re-elected as president.
      Read More World Cup News
      Moller said: “There are presidential elections in FIFA. There are 211 countries in FIFA and I understand that the current president has statements of support from 207 countries.
      “Denmark is not among those countries. And we’re not going to be either.”
      On leaving Fifa, he said: “It is not a decision that has been made now. We have been clear about this for a long time. We have been discussing it in the Nordic region since August.
      “I’ve thought it again. I imagine that there may be challenges if Denmark leaves on its own. But let us see if we cannot have a dialogue on things.
      Most read in Football
      “I have to think about the question of how to restore confidence in FIFA. We must evaluate what has happened, and then we must create a strategy – also with our Nordic colleagues.”
      Alongside Denmark, England and Wales, Germany, France, Belgium, and Switzerland had all planned for their captains to wear One Love armbands in Qatar.
      The armbands promote inclusivity and LGBTQ+ rights, with same-sex relationships illegal in Qatar.
      But the seven skippers were warned by Fifa that they faced a yellow card as a “minimum” punishment for wearing the armbands.
      DBU chief CEO Jakob Jensen said: “On November 21, England asked for an emergency meeting with FIFA, who came to the English hotel. FIFA said it would at least give a yellow card.
      Read More on The Sun
      “There has been discussion about whether there is a legal basis for giving a yellow card, but there is.
      “The penalty could have been a yellow card, that the captain had not come on the pitch or that he was given a ban.” More
