Klement on England
Klement: tops Group L. Beats Norway, then South Korea, then Japan in the QF (Kane back). Loses a tight SF to Portugal — 'in a knock-out match, anything can happen.'
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
