Klement on Germany
Tops Group E easily this time. Beats USA in the R32, then loses to France in a R16 classic. Klement: 'It pains me to say this, but France is clearly a much better team than Germany.'
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
