With four countries remaining, ESPNFC.com's editorial desks from around the world ranked the World Cup semifinalists. Here is a collated countdown. 

Tell us what you think in the comments section or on Twitter.

1. Germany (pre-tournament: 3, pre-round of 16: 3, pre-QF: 2)

They'll fancy their chances against depleted Brazil but can Germany end their recent semifinal hoodoo?

2. Argentina (4, 2, 4)

Are they going to win a World Cup with a series of solid, if not spectacular, victories? 

3. Netherlands (8, 4, 3)

Having squeezed past two CONCACAF challenges, can they overcome one of CONMEBOL's finest?

4. Brazil (1, 1, 1)

Does no Neymar + no Thiago Silva = no chance for the host nation?
