Klement on Portugal
Klement's surprise finalist. Beats Ivory Coast, then Switzerland in the R16 (with Bruno Fernandes, Joao Neves, Bernardo Silva — and 'ideally without Ronaldo'), then Argentina in OT in the QF, then England in a scrappy SF, before losing 1-0 to the Netherlands in the final.
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
