Germany under investigation for breaking FIFA World Cup rules before Spain clash

Germany are being investigated by FIFA after manager Hansi Flick defied World Cup rules in the build-up to their crucial draw against Spain.

Flick’s side are still alive in the tournament after they came from behind to draw 1-1 in Group E on Sunday night. Niclas Fullkrug was the hero, with the Werder Bremen striker coming off the bench to blast in after Alvaro Morata had given Spain the lead.

The point was crucial as it means they can still qualify for the knockout stages, despite suffering a shock 2-1 defeat against Japan in the opening game. They face Costa Rica in their final group game on Thursday – but before then they will face FIFA’s disciplinary commission.
