So, either Russia or Croatia will be on the semifinals and play the seven matches. Doesn't seem right somehow, after three world cups with only traditional teams making it to the semifinals and the top four.

Was Spain in 2010 really a traditional team though? They hadn't made the last 4 since 1950 before that.
