Klement on Brazil
Tops Group C trivially. But Klement's headline upset of 2026: Japan beats Brazil in the R32 — 'one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.'
Klement on Belgium
Tops Group G. Beats Mexico in the R32, Australia in the R16, then loses heavily to Spain in the QF. 'Can be glad if they lose by less than three goals.'
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
