Magull and Freigang take the camera crew through to their apartment where they explain how, on arrival, they were presented with a number of 'rules' and 'guides' for how to live during their time at the World Cup. The players explain in disbelief, and loaded with sarcasm, how they were instructed on what to wear to bed, the best position to sleep in and, to their amusement, to drink lots of water and check their urine.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On the rules set, Magull said: "I think it was a nice gesture, but also superfluous, to be honest."The clip cuts to Freigang mocking the instructions: "In the evening I never know what to wear... luckily for me I have my guide to the right sleeping clothes!"Freigang then proceeds to say her preferred sleeping position in lying on her back with her hand across her chest, before starting to sing the German national anthem. She sings, "Einigkeit und Recht...", before laughing.

WATCH THE CLIP

The rules, seen by the players as slightly too overreaching, did little to improve the side's performance at the World Cup. Despite thumping Morocco 6-0 in their opening game of the tournament, Germany would go on to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/colombia-germany-women-s-world-cup-97th-minute-linda-caicedo/bltb45d42a875015ee3" target="_self">lose 2-1 to Colombia</a> and draw 1-1 with South Korea. The side, tipped as one of the tournament's favourites, were dramatically <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/germany-went-from-women-s-world-cup-favourites-group-stage-embarrassment/blt7e060d081dc43ab0" target="_self">dumped from the tournament in the group stage</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Germany sit top of their Nations League group and play Wales on Tuesday in the final game of the group stage. Germany know that they just need to match Denmark's result against Iceland in order to qualify for the Olympics and proceed to the finals stage of the tournament.

WHAT NEXT FOR GERMANY?
