Klement on Netherlands
Klement's WINNER. Grinds through Morocco, Canada, then beats France (own goal!) in the QF, Spain in the SF (penalties), and Portugal in a tight 1-0 final. 'Finally winning the trophy they should have won a long time ago.'
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.'
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
