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 Canada
Co-host. Klement says host advantage is diluted but still enough to lift Canada past Czechia in the R32; loses to the Netherlands in the R16.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
