Niko Kovac, the Croatian coach, has quite the doppelgänger in Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Social media has picked up on the resemblance and plastered Twitter and Facebook with photos comparing the two. We have to admit, the similarity is pretty uncanny! Niko Kovac has been delighting fans with his good looks - a lot of people have wondered if maybe the Croat IS Joseph Gordon-Levitt. However, we can confirm that they are in fact different people.
While Niko Kovac may have delighted fans with his resemblance to a famous Hollywood actor, Croatian fans are not so happy. Mexico defeated Croatia and got its classification into the round of 16 at the World Cup 2014. El Tri beat Croatia 3-1 in an intense duel where Rafael Marquez, Andres Guardado and Javier Hernandez scored goals - the victory puts Mexico in second place Group A, led by Brazil. Croatian fans were hardly consoled by a last-minut goal.
Meanwhile, Mexico is celebrating hard. Fans then marched from the Zocalo to the Angel de la Independencia, overwhelming the streets with their jubilant cries in red, white and green. The next step will be for Mexico next Sunday facing the Netherlands in the second round. Fans have similarly had a field day with memes revolving around Mexico's coach Miguel 'El Piojo' Herrera. It was an exciting match and as always, social media has provided much entertainment.
