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 Scotland
First WC of the 21st century for Scotland. Klement: missing an Archie Gemmill-type striker; sunshine and pristine pitches don't help; loses to South Korea in the R32.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
