In case you missed it. This is how it was when our soccer team came home. In an outburst of national pride and joy, on Monday 07/16/2018, Croatia rolled out a red carpet and staged a euphoric heroes welcome for the country’s national team despite its loss to France in the World Cup final. It was the largest gathering in Croatia's history. More than 550,000 fans wearing national red-and-white colors and waving Croatian flags poured into the streets of the capital Zagreb to greet the players, many coming to the city from all parts of the country. “They lost the final, but won the world,” was how Croats summed up the mood.

Hi @JohnnyE, nice to see you back in Connect.
I believe that no one missed the match, nor the wonderful way in which that the Croatian supporters welcomed back the team.
Gaining the final of the World Cup is already a great result, only two team in the world can reach that point.
So, my congratulations to all the country, that showed in a beautiful way the love for the team
