Klement on Germany
Tops Group E easily this time. Beats USA in the R32, then loses to France in a R16 classic. Klement: 'It pains me to say this, but France is clearly a much better team than Germany.'
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
