@KarstenKrogh14 Det er tiltrængt. Europæisk fodbold er blevet en dødkedelig matematisk ligning, uden plads til spilleglæde og tekniske kvaliteter. Systemer, systemer, systemer. Spil bolden bagud hvis du er det mindste presset. Snork!

@themichaelowen Honestly the most embarrasing post on X today. You should delete it before you lose all and any credibility!

@Footballtweet He dives before the contact and creates it hinself. Should have been carded!

@olufsphere @linigerDR Full-haaam, West Haaaaam, Nottinghaaaaaaaam, Tottenhaaaaaaam, …..commentary with adenoids! Might as well be haemorrhoids!

Kære, dygtige, saglige, professionelle og underholdende favoritkommentator @linigerDR. Vil du og dine kommentatorvenner ikke nok læse op på den engelske udtale af Bellingham. Den er ikke den samme som den amerikanske, og det udtrukne ‘-haaaaaam’ lyder forfærdeligt. PFT. 🧡

Og undskyld @linigerDR, hvis det kom til at virke personligt. Det var ikke meningen. Det er ikke dig der kommenterer kampen, men jeg kunne ikke lige finde @KraulDR før det var for sent. Sorry. 🧡

@SandroSpaso Læs Collinas forklaring. Det er ikke målmanden der opsøger kontakten.

@Dalbjerg Tyskeren tager et skridt frem og støder fra på keeperen. Der er tyskeren der fremprovokerer kontakten.
Dansk

Og nu ser ser vi så problemmer med at have 3. rangs dommere både på banen og i VAR rummet...
Beklager..
Men hvordan er der der er frispark til keeperen?
Men man vidste jo godt, hvad dommerne var, da den der dommer gik ud til skærmen #vmdk

@UtdMaI Easiest way is to go back to 32 teams and not waste time on nations that should never have qualified.
English

The easiest way to fix the 48-team World Cup format:
Group winners go straight to the Round of 16.
Second-placed teams play third-placed teams in a playoff round for the remaining spots.
That way, winning your group actually means something, and the format still keeps the drama.
It really isn’t that complicated.

@jensunmack Desværre er FIFA lykkelige, for pengene vælter ind! Spirt interesserer dem ikke.
Dansk

In this @FIFAWorldCup format, we will now get 32 ‘knockout’ matches. Many of the teams in the round of 32 are unable to create the domination needed to win a football match, so they will fight hard not to lose it, resulting in very boring, ultradefensive matches. #RSACAN

@RuthBuscombe I’m buying all this, Ruth. What I don’t get is how a crash in the blind corner, which is also the fastest on track, only brings out a single yellow, then changesto doubles, with drivers behind George all being told it’s doubles? It would make more sense to start with doubles!
English

Same flag, same corner, two different calls at Mercedes.
Verstappen crashed in the final sector. On a single waved yellow, George Russell lifted
right at the flag, 25 km/h off the throttle, then got straight back to it. His sector was
unchanged (+0.03s), but the dab is there in black and white. Pole stood. Kimi Antonelli read
it as a double yellow, where the rule is simple: bin any meaningful time or take a penalty.
He came off 61 km/h, lost about two seconds, and parked the lap.
Both were right for what they saw. A single yellow needs a clear, discernible lift, not an
abandoned lap. The benchmark for "enough"? Qatar 2021: Carlos Sainz gave up a measured 0.155s
on a single yellow and walked. In 2019 Verstappen kept it pinned through a single yellow at
Mexico, didn't reduce at all, and lost pole. Russell's trace looks like Sainz's, not
Verstappen's. Mercedes nailed the read.
If you the numbers have a look 👇
TECHNICAL NOTES
Session: 2026 Austrian GP qualifying, Q3. Single waved yellow in Sector 3 at the site of
Verstappen's crash (~3.9 km into the lap, final-corner complex).
RUSSELL (pole)
- Flagged lap (pole): 1:06.113. Clean reference run: 1:06.457.
- At the flag: speed drops to 215 km/h vs 240 on his clean lap = a 25 km/h lift.
- Local cost at the marshalling point (~300 m window): about +0.09s.
- Sector 3 net: +0.03s vs his clean lap so he recovered the time after the dab.
- Read: a clear, discernible reduction exactly where the flag was, on a single yellow. Cleared,
not investigated.
ANTONELLI (P4)
- Flagged final run: 1:08.215. Clean reference (his grid lap): 1:06.414.
- At the flag: speed drops to 178 km/h vs 239 = a 61 km/h lift.
- Sector 3: +2.07s vs his clean lap. He treated it as a double yellow and abandoned the lap,
keeping his earlier 1:06.414 for fourth.
THE RULE : 2026 F1 Sporting Regulations, Art. B1.8.4 (a)/(b)
- Single waved yellow: "must reduce their speed and be prepared to change direction... expected
to have braked earlier and/or discernibly reduced speed in the relevant marshalling sector."
No fixed numeric threshold (judged on telemetry, at the flag point.)
- Double waved yellow: must not attempt a meaningful lap time; in qualifying the lap is deleted
automatically (2026). Don't back off enough and it's a grid penalty.
PRECEDENT (single yellow, measured the same way)
- Sainz, Qatar 2021: +0.155s lift in the yellow sector. No action cleared. (The benchmark.)
- Verstappen, Mexico 2019: S3 -0.001s, no measurable lift, improved the lap. Pole stripped, -3
places. (The line you can't cross.)
WHY MERCEDES ARE CONFIDENT, AND THE EVIDENCE THEY'D PRESENT IF CHALLENGED
- It was a single yellow, not a double so an abandoned lap was never required, only a
discernible reduction.
- The car telemetry shows a distinct throttle lift and a 25 km/h speed drop precisely at the
marshalling sector where the flag was shown the "discernible reduction" the rule asks for.
- The magnitude matches the cleared Sainz Qatar 2021 precedent (~0.15s), and is the opposite of
the penalised Verstappen Mexico 2019 case (no reduction at all).
- Same-team control case: Antonelli, same corner, same flag, shows what a double-yellow-style
abort looks like (61 km/h, +2.07s). Russell's trace is plainly a single-yellow lift, not that.
- Supporting: onboard footage of the flag/panel state, and the marshalling-sector light status
by the time he arrived.

@karunchandhok @GeorgeRussell63 Blind corner. No idea what caused Max’ crash at the time. No chance for oncoming drivers to see what caused the yellow. That _must_ be double waved, preparing the driver to possible have to stop completely.
Did George get any radio messages about the situation?
English

Explaining “yellow-flag-gate” & a confusing end to Qualifying. Fair play to @GeorgeRussell63 - did a great lap, knew the rules & got pole!
I am still a bit confused why it was not an instant double yellow flag for when a car has crashed on the fastest corner of the track with a blind approach🤷🏽♂️
Suspect the other teams will ask for a review on this.

Hvor jeg føler med @CamillaMartin99 og hendes hårdt ramte stemmebånd. Det er ikke sjovt at være den der har manuskriptet og ingen stemme at styre det med! God bedring, Camilla! Vi er glade for, at vi ikke behøver at undvære dig.

@autosport Double waved yellows into a blind corner. George has no chance of knowing if there is debris or even a car on track. Double yellows mean “be prepared to stop”, not just “slow down”. This could have been seriously ugly.
English

@FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup The VAR communication should be public after the matches. Players aren’t allowed to hide their communication, neither should the referees.
There are some ridiculous VAR-decisions that warrant explaning! #worldcup2026
