Germany's defeat of Argentina in the last eight and French slaying of defending champions Brazil a day later means that the FIFA World Cup semifinals would be all European affairs after a gap of 24 years.
One would have to go back to Spain, 1982 for the previous occasion when the last four stage had only European teams. Then, Italy, West Germany, Poland and France contested the semi-finals before the Azzuri defeated the Germans in the final to win the World Cup for a third time.
