Italy v czech republic (there is Rosicky, but he hasn't played in the premiership yet, so I think he can't be considered a premiership player)

Costa Rica
Croatia
Iran
Italy
Paraguay

Saudi, as stated have Jaidi. But the rest is spot on. Only a few games, then. Is the Prem the most represented league at the World Cup ??
There seems to be alot of Bundeslige players playing.
