Many Croatians including the employees in JYSK celebrated one of the greatest moments in the country’s sporting history, when Croatia played against France in the World Cup final in Russia on Sunday the 15th of July.

Unfortunately, Croatia lost the game with 2 goals to 4, but both the players and the fans have lots of reasons to be proud of the efforts.

Croatia finals — Ivana's son Lovro: "He was very sad, but proud. I explained to him that to be 2nd in the world is really not something to be sad about, especially considering that Croatia is a country with only 4 million people", says Ivana.
