Klement on Colombia
Klement: clear 2nd in Group K, then loses to Croatia in the R16 on experience.
Klement on Mexico
Co-host. Klement says the host advantage is diluted across three countries; Mexico finishes 3rd, qualifies as best third, then loses to Belgium in the R32 — 'one more heartbreak: still no fifth game'.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
