Germany fell short of qualifying for the knockout stages despite a 4-2 win over Costa Rica on Thursday, after earning just one point from their first two games in Qatar. Media in the country are scrutinising every aspect of Hansi Flick's side, and have now turned their spotlights on accusing the wives and girlfriends of the German squad. Germany's WAGs have been targeted by media after the country's exit from the World Cup Hansi Flick's side did not secure enough points in Group E, despite a 4-2 win over Costa Rica Bild, one of Germany's top newspapers, questioned: 'What is actually wrong with our WAGs (wives and girlfriends)?' They noted that counterparts from England and Wales would 'drink Qatar half-dry', while German other halves were seen to be much less joyful. Bild added: 'Not thirsty? Dancing leg allergy? Don't feel like lunging?' The remote nature of the Zulal Wellness Resort caused problems for the German national side In a scathing insult towards the eliminated players and their families, they said: 'Be happy that you too are now flying home with your football dwarves!', rounding off the attack by saying 'It can't go on like this...' The results on the pitch may have been partially responsible for a lack of a jovial atmosphere among the travelling family and friends. Qatar also has a number of strict rules which the wives and girlfriends of the German players may have been cautious about upsetting. Following Germany's draw with Spain on Sunday, World Cup players were able to invite their wives for two nights at the Zulal Wellness Resort, according to Sportsmail.

Sophia Weber, the girlfriend of Kai Havertz, Christina Ginter, the wife of Matthias Ginter, and goalkeeper Kevin Trapp's fiancee Izabel Goulart, were among those who went to the 1-1 draw with Spain. After their miserable exit on Thursday night, WAGs were on hand to meet with the players as they returned to their base at 2.45am local time, less than three hours after their elimination was confirmed.
