Klement on Japan
Klement's dark horse. Beats Brazil in the R32 (the upset of the tournament), edges Senegal in the R16, then loses to a Kane-led England in the QF.
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
