Klement on Spain
Klement: 'one of the two best teams in the world right now'. Yamal, Rodri, Pedri⦠Beats Croatia, then Belgium 3+ goals in the QF, then loses on penalties to the Netherlands in the SF. 'It's a cruel world if you are Spanish.'
Klement on Turkey
First WC since 2002. Not at peak strength but edges Iran in the R32, then loses to Argentina in the R16.
