Messi has broken several records with his incredible tournament. He won the ‘Man of the Match’ five times, including the final. He scored seven goals, and gave three assists at 35 years old, the oldest player to do so.

Of course, with Argentina winning, it was almost impossible for him not to take home the Golden Ball. However, Croatian supermodel Ivana Knoll, who was at Lusail Stadium for the final, didn’t agree with FIFA. Check out what she said.

Ivana Knoll says Kylian Mbappé should have won the Golden Ball

Knoll has been controversial during the whole tournament. She mocked Brazil when Croatia beat them in quarterfinals and repeated the comments after Argentina beat them in the semifinals. And now, she says that Mbappé should have won the Golden Ball.

“@FifaWorldCup you gave the Golden Ball to the wrong person! Maybe Argentina won but @K.Mbappe is the golden ball!” she wrote on her Instagram stories after the final. She also posted videos of Mbappé goals.

When Argentina won, Knoll said that Croatia was the better team but “sometimes in the semi-finals we have a bad referee like yesterday who gave a penalty for nothing and lost the chance to get the trophy.”

After Croatia dismissed Brazil from the tournament with a win on penalties, the model mocked Neymar’s team on her Instagram stories. She also went viral due to a picture of her being photographed by Qataris in the stands, which then led to a controversy regarding her well-being.

Despite the controversy, the former Miss Croatia will stay in Qatar until the end, especially if her team can defeat Argentina in the semifinals of the tournament. It’s a highly anticipated match and she made her prediction in an unusual way.

VIDEO: Ivana Knoll predicts winner between Argentina and Croatia

Argentina and Croatia will play on Tuesday, Dec. 13 for a place in the big final of the World Cup. Both Lionel Messi and Luka Modric, whoever wins, will have a chance to win the trophy one more time. However, per Knoll, the Croatians will defeat the South American team.

But her way of predicting the result has caught the attention of fans. In her video, she is in a street full of people, and two guys, one with the Argentina shirt, and the other with the Croatia shirt are standing there holding a drum cymbal.

Then, Knoll kicks a ball to predict the winner of the match and hits the man with the Croatian shirt in the stomach. “Croatia wins, for sure”, reads a phrase that appears at the end of the video.

Their next match will be against the winner of Argentina vs Netherlands, which will be played on Friday, December 9, at 2 PMET. At no time was it clear who would be the winner of Croatia vs. Brazil, but Luka Modrić‘s team took the lead in the penalty shootout and emerged victorious.

Miss Croatia, who has generated quite a stir for her outfits, not only attended the Qatar Foundation stadium to support the national team, but also mocked Brazil for their defeat. Here, check out what she had to say on social networks…

Ivana Knoll mocked Brazil’s national team after elimination

Ivana has generated several controversies since her arrival in Qatar. First she made headlines in all the country’s portals for her extravagant outfits, and at one point there was even talk that she could be in legal trouble. During the Croatia vs. Japan match, she was photographed by several Arab fans and according to a businessman named Hassan Al-Jefairi, it was in order to take evidence to denounce her.

Now, after Croatia’s victory against Brazil, the renowned model has once again generated controversy. This time due to her celebration of the Croatian national team’s victory over the South American country. Knoll mocked Neymar’s team in some stories on her Instagram profile (@knolldoll), saying “Brazil who?” on several occasions, while focusing on herself and the team’s players.

Although she has been one of the most popular celebrities at the FIFA-organized event, the Qatari authorities are not at all happy with the way she dresses in the stadiums and at the various tourist sites she has attended since herarrival.

After the great uproar, she had to come out to answer the people who asked about herwell-being, since the measures taken by the Persian Gulf state are quite crude.“The whole country is talking about it. Everyone knows me here and I saw that they accepted me”, she said.But it seems that the peace didn’t last long…

Could Ivana Knoll be sued by the Qatari authorities for her clothing?

Recently, Ivana was in the news again for being photographed by several Qatari fans inside one of the stadiums, but the reason is not good, as they are attaching evidence to report her to the country’s authorities.

“Just for your information, they don’t take the picture because they like her, but because they don’t like the way she is dressed, inappropriately for our culture. You can confirm it with any Qatari. It’s probably to denounce her”, Hassan Al-Jefairi said.

A local businessman was the one who revealed the reason why they were taking pictures of her “provocative clothing“. This is because of Qatar’s policy of tight restrictions on women’s dress, as well as its ban on homosexuality.

So far, it is not known the existence of any complaint or penalty for the former Miss Croatia. She made several statements regarding her outfits at the World Cup and also came out to deny a Doha newspaper that announced an alleged legal action against her.

The locals are fascinated with the model and she assured that the locals had confirmed that she could wear whatever she wanted, so she would not have any kind of punishment. “The whole country is talking about it. Everyone knows me here and I saw that they accepted me”, she confessed.

The soccer fanatic is Croatian and has always been present at matches, such as the one between Belgium and Croatia today. Her 900,000 Instagram followers were waiting to see what outfit she would wear on Thursday, as they usually wear the colors of their country’s flag. Here, find out more about who she is…

Who isIvana Knoll?

Knoll is a well-known Croatian model who came to light after winning the Miss Croatia contest a few years ago. She is also an influencer and took all the flashes during the World Cup in Brazil 2014, where she became known for following her country’s national team. That was the great start of her career and she never stopped.

She followed the national team to Russia 2018 and now to Qatar 2022. However, this last trip has not been entirely pleasant, as some of the country’s authorities have been harassing her because of her clothing. Nevertheless, she never let them intimidate her and continued to upload videos with her characteristic clothes.

She was walking along the beaches of Doha in a Bikini and this also caught the attention of the locals of the Arab country. But Ivana had no filter and confessed to TMZ that she never meant to disrespect the Qatari people with her designs, but feels that everyone should have the choice to wear what fits their own culture. She then added, “I was never afraid of being arrested for being who I am, and I don’t think I could hurt someone by wearing a bikini. And if that deserves to be arrested, then arrest me”.

Although Knoll was born in Germany, she has lived in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, since she was very young. She always felt very connected to her country’s culture and sport, but it wasn’t very easy to find tickets and permission to enter the stadium.

“This is a disaster. I feel sorry for all the people who can’t go to the World Cup because of the worst organization ever.My team did not get a Hayya card (Fan ID to enter the host country and the stadiums) even after 20 days, despite having all the tickets for the final“, said Ivana.
