SAINT-ETIENNE, France (AP) -- David Lafata isn't dwelling on his mistake that allowed Spain's Gerard Pique to head in the one and only goal in the Czech Republic's first match at the European Championship. Lafata came on as a substitute in that match and was supposed to be marking Pique when Andres Iniesta whipped in the cross that Pique carefully guided into the Czech net in the 87th minute. The 34-year-old is looking forward to the opportunity to make amends on Friday in Saint-Etienne against a Croatia side that beat Turkey in the other Group D match.
