Klement on England
Klement: tops Group L. Beats Norway, then South Korea, then Japan in the QF (Kane back). Loses a tight SF to Portugal — 'in a knock-out match, anything can happen.'
Klement on Iran
Klement notes participation uncertainty given the war; if they play, 2nd in group but lose to Turkey in the R32.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
