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 Algeria
Klement: qualifies as best third, loses tight to Australia in the R32.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
