By Zoran Milosavljevic ST ETIENNE, France (Reuters) - Rocked by a second family bereavement in three days, Croatia will be determined to seal a last-16 berth when they meet the Czech Republic in their Euro 2016 Group D clash on Friday, defender Domagoj Vida said. Following the death of captain Darijo Srna's father on Sunday during Croatia's 1-0 win over Turkey, the team's media officer Tomislav Pacak said goalkeeping coach Marijan Mrmic's father had also died during Tuesday night. Vida, a tough-tackling center back personifying Croatia's willpower in the face of adversity, said the team would go the extra mile for their skipper and Mrmic, who traveled home early on Wednesday.
