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.
Klement on Iran
Klement notes participation uncertainty given the war; if they play, 2nd in group but lose to Turkey in the R32.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
