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 Turkey
First WC since 2002. Not at peak strength but edges Iran in the R32, then loses to Argentina in the R16.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
