Klement on Argentina
Defending champions but Klement: 'nowhere near as strong as the team four years ago.' Beats Uruguay then Turkey (Messi winner). Loses to Portugal in the QF in overtime — squad depth wins out.
Klement on Czechia
Klement gives Czechia the edge over Mexico for 2nd in Group A. Loses the R32 to host Canada thanks to crowd support.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
