My brother asked me this one, so I didn't think of it.

There are two nations among the 32 in the World Cup Finals who have all of its players competing in its own domestic league?

Which two are they?

The first person to guess correctly wins my admiration or just happens to know where to look.

Eh, I kinda hope those are not the right answers because I don't want to ruin other people guessing.

And thanks Bob, for devoting attention to the World Cup. It definitely is added motivation to visit The Griddle, excellent baseball coverage notwithstanding.

No, Zak had the two countries. Both Mexico and Iran have several players on European teams.

I know Serie A is a great league, but I'm still surprised that there are no Italians playing in Spain, England, or Germany.

I was told that one of the Italian players isn't with any team now, but I forget which one.

I believe the Ivory Coast is the only nation with no "home" based players on their roster...
