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 United States
Co-host. Klement: host advantage diluted across 3 countries; US finishes 3rd, qualifies as best third, then loses easily to Germany in the R32.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
