Klement on Netherlands

Klement's WINNER. Grinds through Morocco, Canada, then beats France (own goal!) in the QF, Spain in the SF (penalties), and Portugal in a tight 1-0 final. 'Finally winning the trophy they should have won a long time ago.'

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.

“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
