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 β 'one more heartbreak: still no fifth game'.
Klement on Senegal
Africa Cup winners (per Klement). Edge over Norway for 2nd; beats Ecuador in the R32, then narrowly loses to Japan in the R16.
