We're going to have Russia/Croatia/Sweden/Switzerland/England or Colombia in the final.

Off the top of my head, England and Sweden are the only ones who have been in a final before, and England the only team to have won it.

I think you're right. However, England was against Argentina like 40 years ago and Sweden like 70 years ago.

The football played is so bad and defensive, most games are painful to watch

in case of sweden for example, yes

they knocked out italy with a deflected shot and won 1:0, 2nd game 0:0 to qualify for the wc.

almost drew 1:1 vs germany. How many shots on the german goal they had? 1?

won with a deflected shot vs switzerland (didnt saw the match but i think its the same as the 2 mentioned)

They're imo playing a football which is considered boring (not by me, i appreciate defensive football) - but for a reason i dont know, people still like them. Maybe because they are underdogs. If a big team would play this style, it would be hated. Anyway, they are my favourite to make it to the final. Defense wins Championships

agreed, lots of suprises, late goals and close games

that a knockout game like sweden switzerland is to be expected at times, its not like all teams have been storming forward in the past when it matters most
