Photo scandal distracts Croatian squad

Croatia's coaches have urged their players to focus on the World Cup match against Cameroon rather than lament the publication of some photos showing some of them bathing nude at their training complex's swimming pool in Brazil.

Since the paparazzo photographers' shots were published by Croatian media over the weekend, players have refused to speak to the media.

Assistant coach Robert Kovac says "the players are talking about that theme, but we want them to concentrate on the match against Cameroon."

Croatia lost the tournament opener to Brazil. Cameroon also lost its opening match, adding extra importance to Wednesday's Group A game at the Arena da Amazonia in Manaus.
