Klement on Scotland
First WC of the 21st century for Scotland. Klement: missing an Archie Gemmill-type striker; sunshine and pristine pitches don't help; loses to South Korea in the R32.
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
