Klement on Argentina
Defending champions but Klement: 'nowhere near as strong as the team four years ago.' Beats Uruguay then Turkey (Messi winner). Loses to Portugal in the QF in overtime — squad depth wins out.
Klement on Turkey
First WC since 2002. Not at peak strength but edges Iran in the R32, then loses to Argentina in the R16.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
