Croatian model Ivana Knoll, dubbed the “sexiest fan” of the World Cup in Qatar, expressed her disappointment on Instagram after Croatia’s hopes of qualifying for the last 16 of Euro 2024 were left hanging by a thread.
His team suffered an agonizing draw against Italy on Monday night, after Mattia Zaccagni equalized in the eighth minute of stoppage time and canceled out Luka Modric’s second-half goal that put Croatia ahead.
Had Croatia managed to hold on, they would have finished above Italy in Group B and booked their place in the round of 16.
With Croatia having only amassed two points and a goal difference of minus three, it looks like they could miss out on a place in the round of 16 as one of the best third-placed teams.
Currently, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia look set to advance, but Croatia can still qualify if England beat Slovenia by four or more goals on Tuesday night.
Croatian model Ivana Knoll posted a photo of herself inside the stadium before her country’s match with the caption “We’re ready.”

Knoll was disappointed by the result and posted an Instagram story of the scenes inside the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig at full time, adding a vomit face emoji and a poop emoji to the story.
The 31-year-old model, who initially gained fame and followers on social media for attending Croatia’s matches at the 2022 World Cup in skimpy outfits, has been present in Germany following her team throughout the group stage.

In a bizarre tirade, Knoll posted several messages on Instagram attacking Wontorra and Magenta TV, writing: “Dear Laura, if I looked like that I would only wear winter clothes forever.”
‘The least professional television that has ever existed. Teach your hosts the culture and never invite me to an interview again,” she said, signing off the message with a thumbs-down emoji.

She told BILD: ‘I had a boyfriend who I was with for 10 years. We broke up last year. I’m single now, but at the moment I’m not looking for a new man.’
Knoll had also stated that he was sad to see Jack Grealish excluded from Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the tournament in Germany.
“It saddens me that England doesn’t have the best team selected, but as a Croatia fan I’m happy.” Knoll said Sun. “With (Kylian) Mbappé not playing and all these other great players not playing, we have a better chance.”
