Klement on Iran
Klement notes participation uncertainty given the war; if they play, 2nd in group but lose to Turkey in the R32.
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
