THE World Cup’s “hottest fan”; has trolled Japan by reposting a cheeky video of her eating sushi after her team beat them.
Ivana Knoll’s beloved Croatia triumphed over the Asian giants at the Al Janoub Stadium to win a placein the quarter finals.
In the lead-up to do-or-die match, Knoll was spotted taking photos of Japan fans ahead of the 3pm kick off.
She also posted a picture of her eating sushi with the caption: “Japan, we are ready for you!”;
After Croatia beat Japan on penalties she posted another video of herself tucking into sushi.
“Only sushi on today’s menu,”; was her cheeky message to the Japanese.
The jibe comes as Knoll drew “disapproving”; attention for her racy outfits at this year’s World Cup and hit back at critics in a new racy Instagram post.
The Croatian supermodel wowed in a bikini on Doha’s beachfront ahead of her side’s round of 16 clash with Japan this afternoon.
Taking to Insta ahead of the huge tie, she showed off her curves in a tight one piece as she proudly waved the flag for the Vatreni.
“Let’s party like it’s 1998,”; she wrote, referencing the Croatians first successful run to the semi-final.
She then added a love heart emoji – much to the affection of her 1.2 million adoring fans.
Ivana has been ever present to cheer on her side in Doha and has already stunned in several plunging outfits bearing Croatia’s synonymous chequered coat of the arms.
So far, the 30-year-old German born model wore a racy form fitting outfit to her side’s game against Morocco and shared snaps of herself in a revealing swimsuit while posing up by the curved skyscraper in Lusail.
She then later caught the eye of glancing Qatari locals as she appeared in a red checked bikini top and tight red legging in the final group game clash against Belgium.
All of which has earnt her the name as the “World Cup’s hottest fan.”;
According to the Mail Online, prominent Qatari entrepreneur Mohammed Hassan Al-Jefairi, claimed local men had been snapping away and staring because they disapproved of her outfit.
Taking to Twitter following the 0-0 draw between Croatia and Belgium last Thursday he wrote: “Just for your info they take a photo not because they like her but because they don’t like the way she is mis-dressed on regards to our culture.
“You can confirm this with any local Qatari Probably to report it.”;
Visitors to Qatarhave been advised to cover their shoulders and avoid short skirts.
And many glam footie fans have faced risk being slapped with huge fines or even put behind bars if they flash their figures while in the gulf nation.
But Ivana has continued to poke fun at the coverage and previously she would wear a skimpy thong swimsuit on a Qatari beach before the competition began.
