Semifinals are Set, Can you Win?

The four teams are set for the semifinals.  A powerhouse matchup between 1D-England and 1F-USA in one matchup and the are-they-really-that-good matchup between 2F-Sweden and 1E-Netherlands.  It'll be interesting if USA and SWE meet in the final because since SWE rested 7 players in their group stage match, I can see USA routing SWE (a la '15 final) or losing in PKs (a la '11 final).  ENG is #3 and NED is the defending EURO Women's champion though.

So there are 8 possible outcomes left.  Below is the 8 scenarios and who would win what.  Remember, there are four money prizes ($220 / $110 / $70 / $40) up for grabs.  There is one tiebreaker scenario involving Tom J and UncleChimps with one battle for fourth (meaning one would be left empty-handed) if NED>ENG in final.
