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 Haiti
Klement: 'participation trophy at their first-ever World Cup.'
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
