NICE, France (Reuters) - Turkey coach Fatih Terim has absolved captain Arda Turan of blame for their opening Euro 2016 defeat by Croatia and complained about "nasty" criticism of his team's performance.

Terim also refused to accept suggestions that Ozan Tufan was responsible for Croatia's goal when he adjusted his hair seconds before Luka Modric scored the only goal.
