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 Ivory Coast

Klement: qualifies as best third, loses comfortably to Portugal in the R32.

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