Klement on Portugal
Klement's surprise finalist. Beats Ivory Coast, then Switzerland in the R16 (with Bruno Fernandes, Joao Neves, Bernardo Silva — and 'ideally without Ronaldo'), then Argentina in OT in the QF, then England in a scrappy SF, before losing 1-0 to the Netherlands in the final.
Klement on England
Klement: tops Group L. Beats Norway, then South Korea, then Japan in the QF (Kane back). Loses a tight SF to Portugal — 'in a knock-out match, anything can happen.'
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
