Klement on England
Klement: tops Group L. Beats Norway, then South Korea, then Japan in the QF (Kane back). Loses a tight SF to Portugal — 'in a knock-out match, anything can happen.'
Klement on Croatia
Klement: 'small Croatia will once again punch well above its weight.' Beats Colombia in the R32 on experience, loses to Spain in the R16.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
