If you want to practice a specific opening how can you do it? Like play games.

There are a lot of Daily Chess tournaments dedicated to specific openings. That can give you good chances to practice, though look for ones with a lower bound on ratings or you may be playing a lot of people who have no clue about the opening. (I won a Dutch Defense tournament like that....)
You cant force people into playing a opening so what?
