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 Switzerland
Runaway Group B favourite. Beats Egypt in a tighter-than-expected R32 thanks to squad depth, then falls to Portugal in the R16.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
