Photo of the day: Croatian politicians turned up for work wearing their country’s football shirts

Croatian politicians turned up for work on Thursday wearing their country's football shirts following their national team's heroics which saw them cruise into their first World Cup finals ever.

Led by their captain, Luka Modric, Croatia defied all odds and media criticism to beat a high flying England, 2-1 after extra time to book a finals date on Sunday, and their leaders couldn't be any happier.

To show their happiness and pride, the politicians had to join millions of other Croats as they celebrated the once in a lifetime achievement.

Croatia will be squaring up with France on Sunday's iconic showpiece as the 2018 Russia World Cup's curtains fall.
