DARK SECRETS: Germany backtrack on breaking fifa world cup rules after being under investigation | Vintage Vibes

Germany manager Hansi Flick was joined by a player at his pre-match press conference on Wednesday as Die Mannschaft's row with FIFA rumbles on.

The Germans are under investigation by FIFA after a player did not join Flick for their press conference ahead of the 1-1 draw against Spain on Sunday. Flick's side face Costa Rica in their final Group E fixture on Thursday and need to win to stay in the World Cup.

FIFA rules state that the manager and a player from each nation must attend a press conference 24 hours before every game. Germany did not stick to this rule ahead of the Spain clash and have been at loggerheads with FIFA since the tournament started.
