The outcome of today's game doesn't invalidate this.   I just find it interesting. 

Argentina - 3 

France -3

Croatia - 2

England - 2

Germany - 2 

Netherlands - 2

Spain -2

Belgium - 1 

Brazil - 1

Morocco - 1

Uruguay - 1 

I don't now why, but I thought of Germany and Brazil as perinnieal powerhouse, and they both only made it to the semi-finals once in the last 16 years!
