During the football match my husband got an email from his favourite pen-friend showing the map which country supports which team. It made us laugh :)
Our neighbours didn't win today, but also the second place is an awesome result.
I know that most of my readers haven't been to Croatia, so here is the official tourism link:

Croatia has always been my favourite holiday destination.

As an American who didn't have a home team to cheer for in this World Cup, I was a Croatian fan the entire way. Plus, I also cheered for anyone playing Brazil, Portugal, or Argentina. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I think I know this pen-friend ;-) Croatia played with a big heart. And I second the Croatia travel recommendation. Loved meeting you there!

Dear Klara, I can definitely confirm the map for Germany: in the beer garden where I watched the game, there were a lot of Croatian supporters and I felt quite alone :)
ReplyDeleteWhat little I saw of Croatia makes me want to go back - like Slovenia! I am annoyed though that New Zealand was completely ignored on the map. Argh. Almost makes me wish I had supported France. Almost! We do love an underdog.
