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'.
Klement on Uruguay
Klement: follows Spain out of Group H, then loses to Argentina in the R32.
