Through this link to Jodie Taylor, Reign FC are one of the teams who will have someone in the final, no matter what the semifinal results are. The other two are Bayern Munich and Montpellier.

Going to the community view, there are 4 teams left but 6 communities.
Lyon and Wolfsburg, the two "extra" communities, link two national teams teams, with one player from each team, other clubs that are joining two teams have been put into the community of the nation who supplies the most players.
Of course none of this answers the most important question - who do I support when England play the US? The Lionesses or Megan Rapinoe's team?!
