Klement on Croatia
Klement: 'small Croatia will once again punch well above its weight.' Beats Colombia in the R32 on experience, loses to Spain in the R16.
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
