Fifa World Cup: Teams with most semi final appearances
TBS Illustration
Since the introduction of the Fifa World Ranking in 1994, this is the first World Cup in which the top four ranked teams – France, Argentina, Spain, and England – have all reached the semi-finals, making it only the third tournament in which all four semi-finalists are former World Cup champions. Meanwhile, Argentina has advanced to the final on each of their previous five World Cup semi-final appearances.
Note: No World Cup semi-finals in 1950, 1974 and 1978
