Just as people think of the answer to that, I thought I would trow another one out.

What 2 teams picked their 2006 WC squad entirely from players who were playing within that country when the squad was announced?

Shouldn't take too long, I would imagine most will get one of them fairly easily.

have a stab at Iran for one?

I'm almost sure Italy is one? The other I'm not so sure of but will take a guess at Germany? Otherwise maybe one of the obscure countries like Arabia?

DDC1990

2002 World Cup.

3 Squads where all the Outfield Players played in the Same Country.

Saudia Arabia used to have some rule that only players playing in the Saudia Arabian league could play for the national team.
