Klement on Spain
Klement: 'one of the two best teams in the world right now'. Yamal, Rodri, Pedri… Beats Croatia, then Belgium 3+ goals in the QF, then loses on penalties to the Netherlands in the SF. 'It's a cruel world if you are Spanish.'
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
