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.
Klement on Australia
Klement: wins the most balanced group of the tournament 'mostly due to the ineptitude of their opponents, and if that isn't enough, then cheating'. Falls to Belgium in the R16.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
