Klement on France
Klement: 'absolutely brilliant' — Mbappé, Dembélé, Olise, Tchouaméni, Kanté, Upamecano. Beats Sweden, then Germany in the R16, but loses 1-0 to the Netherlands in the QF on an own goal.
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
