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 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.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
