SAINT-ETIENNE, France (AP) -- His face turned ashen by grief, Croatia captain Darijo Srna took one question after another, patiently explaining why he returned to the European Championship after the death of his father. The Croatian veteran answered three questions about his late father before politely asking reporters at a news conference in Saint-Etienne to focus on Friday's game against the Czech Republic. Srna's father died from cancer last Sunday around the time Croatia beat Turkey 1-0 in its opening game at Euro 2016.
