One Croatia fan managed to steal the spotlight from Ivana Knoll, after interrupting the model during a television interview.
Whilst fans watching the World Cup might not have been left in awe of Croatia's style of football, their progression to the semi-final is still impressive.
It's their third visit to the final four of the tournament in just seven attempts, one of which they didn't qualify for, and their second in-a-row.

And, though Zlatko Dalic's team aren't that aesthetically pleasing on the pitch, one of their fans certainly is, with former Miss Croatia, Knoll, getting plenty of eyes on her.
The 30-year-old's dress sense has been getting plenty of attention in Qatar, and she's been accused of being disrespectful towards the hosts.
So maybe they'll be very glad that another Croatia fan managed to hilariously grab the attention by interrupting her, as you can see in the video below.
The interview with Knoll came after Croatia had secured their place in the final four, with a victory over Brazil on penalties, having also needed spot kicks to defeat Japan.

She was asked what she thought would happen for the team going forward, with Knoll replying that she 'hoped Argentina would get through [against Netherlands].
Knoll explained that she expected her team to beat the South Americans 'easily, as they did four years ago,' when the Europeans won 3-0 in the group stages of the 2018 World Cup.
At that point the man, who was stood over the model's shoulder for the rest of the interview, leans into the microphone to shout "I'm Croatian too."
You'd imagine that plenty of fans of the country could be rather fed up of the former Miss Croatia being the only person who seems to represent them.

Ivana got her wish to face Argentina, after they also needed penalties to make it through to the semis, beating Netherlands after a match full of drama.
Lionel Messi's incredible assist and late penalty looked to have secured their place in the final four, as he attempts to finally become world champion.
However, Wout Weghorst came off the bench to baffle the Burnley fans who had to watch him struggle in the Premier League last season, scoring a late brace to force extra time.

His second goal came from possibly the ballsiest set piece in the history of the World Cup, as Louis van Gaal's side decided to pass a late free kick on the edge of the area into the box, rather than shooting.
It wasn't to be however though, with Virgil van Dijk and Steven Berghuis both missing, as Argentina set up their game with Croatia.
Not that the Croatia squad will need any more motivation in the game against Argentina, but Knoll has promised to get naked if her countrymen go on to win the whole tournament.

Should they make it into next Sunday's final then they could actually set up a repeat of the game at the same stage in Russia last time out.
France's win over England on Saturday night means that the two sides could once again meet in the final, with France having beaten Croatia 4-2 four and a half years ago.
