getting back on topic. My Final Four
Germany, Spain, Brazil (I wonder about them. All the pressure of being host could be too much.) Argentina.
Final Four I wish I could see
US, Cameroon, Australia, South Korea
Actually US, Brazil, Swiss and Argentina

That looks like one of the easiest ways to get to the semi finals.
If they finish 2nd, they'll be out maybe in the round of 16, but for sure in the quarter finals. Belgium, who I bet will win group H, has a very young and highly talented team. Watch out for them in 2018. If Germany survives Belgium, they will get demoralized by Argentina in the quarter finals.
The most important thing for me is to get rid of our shitty, shitty coach. So there are only 2 positive scenarios. Either we're out in the group stage and Jogi Löw gets kicked or we win it all and he leaves by his own 😃 Unfortunately both scenarios will not happen. We will somehow win group G because Ronaldo is out for Portugal, then get the "easy line" to the semi finals and then get our butts kicked badly from whoever we face, because Jogi Löw again has one of his "brilliant" ideas. Like in the European Cup 2012, when he played Toni Kroos as a man-to-man defender against Andrea Pirlo in the Italy game. WTF???? That's insane. That day I saw the team lineup and knew from the very first moment, that this was the last game of the EC for Germany. 🤦 🤦
So I agree with your final 4 and Brazil will have tons of fun destroying Germany.
My final 4 wish list includes Germany (as said, only if they win it all), Chile, USA and Australia. Not too likely, I know [grin1]
