Klement on Japan
Klement's dark horse. Beats Brazil in the R32 (the upset of the tournament), edges Senegal in the R16, then loses to a Kane-led England in the QF.
Klement on Norway
Klement: strong team, qualifies as best third, but loses to England in the R32.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
