This was not enough for the Sunday World Champion title, but the Croatian national team proved to be a big loser and celebrated its second place with pride. The medal photos were carefully done in the booth and posted on Instagram.
Mateo Kovacic provided a moving moment here. A native of Linz, 24, played for LASK in his youth and dedicated his medal to the recently deceased Austro kicker, Edvin Hodzic. Upper Austria, who played at LASK and Austria Klagenfurt, among others, died suddenly last week at the age of 23.
"Ovo je za tebe" – writes Kovacic, who now works for Real Madrid is under contract, under a photo on which he wears a T-shirt with "RIP Dino". Dino was the nickname of Hodzics. More than 400,000 Likes have received the image.
The two combined a deep friendship that began in LASK's youth. After the World Cup, the two wanted to meet.
On Friday, more than 1,000 people attended the funeral in Traun to pay tribute to the young midfielder.
