World Cup 2022: Model Ivana Knoll Criticizes Messi’s Argentina

• Croatian model Ivana Knoll has lamented that Argentina does not deserve to be in the final
• Argentina beat Croatia in the first semi-final of World Cup 2022 leaving Knoll dejected
• Knoll has become an internet sensation with her sensual outfits and Instagram posts

Ivana Knoll has gained a massive following during this year's World Cup in Qatar. The beautiful Croatia model has become a darling of many fans both online and physically in Qatar stadia with her ear-to-ear smile and outfits a crowd puller.

The former Miss Croatia has been present at almost all her nation's games as they made an attempt to go one better than in 2018. Their dreams were however cut short on December 13th when Argentina beat them 3-0 in the first semi-final.

Knoll was unhappy after the game that she took a swipe at the Lionel Messi-captained side. Messi inspired his side to a comfortable victory as he continues with his own dream of winning the World Cup before he retires.

Croatia were outrun and failed to threaten the Argentina backline. Knoll was however of a different opinion after the game.

"I don't think Argentina is such a good team, that's why. We didn't have a good day but a bad day, that's all," as quoted by Marca.

Knoll's sentiments notwithstanding, Argentina will await the winner of the clash between France and Morocco on Sunday. Knoll who has often mesmerized fans with her sensual outfits is expected to cheer on her nation one last time when they compete for the bronze on Saturday.
