Croatia fans gathered at the American-Croatian Lodge in Willoughby for their third game of the World Cup. If they beat Mexico, they'd move on to the next round. If they lost or tied, they're out. Here, young jersey-clad kids filled up the ledge in front of all the folding chairs.

Rows of folding chairs were brought in, and some fans sat on the picnic tables already in the pavilion. The game was projected onto a large, blow up screen.
