Neymar missed the semi-finals (against Gemrany) due to injury (agressed by a Colombian defender in the quarter-finals). He was replaced by Bernard. Thiago Silva was for his part missing through suspension (replaced by Dante).
After Guztavo-Paulinho, Ferandinho-Paulinho...it was finally a midfield Guztavo-Fernandinho for the semi-finals. But it has not changed much things. Ramires entered at midifeld in every k-o games. Maicon replaced Alves for the semi-final and the little final.
Amongst the quarter-finalists , France.

With a changing central pairing in defense. If Varane was always the ball-player of it (he started in every matches except for the last match of group against Ecuador as he was given some rest by his coach) there has been some incidents as for the stopper playing next to him : Sakho was the usual starter but was replaced after one hour of play against Ecuador (where he was playing alongside Koscielny) due to injury (so Varane finally played this match). Koscielny was the starter alongside Varane in the Round of 16 alongside Varane. Sakho was called-back to play the quarter-finals against Germany (1-0 loss due to an error of marking by Varane on Hummels, on a free-kick played in the box, 13th minute). Koscielny replaced Sakho at the 72nd minute of the match.
The young and certainly promising, Belgium.
