Klement on Brazil
Tops Group C trivially. But Klement's headline upset of 2026: Japan beats Brazil in the R32 — 'one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.'
Klement on South Korea
Favoured to win Group A; not as strong as it used to be, but still good enough to edge Scotland in the R32 before falling to England in the R16.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
