Klement on France
Klement: 'absolutely brilliant' — Mbappé, Dembélé, Olise, Tchouaméni, Kanté, Upamecano. Beats Sweden, then Germany in the R16, but loses 1-0 to the Netherlands in the QF on an own goal.
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
