Your pal is 100% correct.
Only the Saudis and Italians feature players based in their home countries.
Mole's answer below about the Saudis is incorrect. Check the official FIFA site below and each player's current team is under his profile (all play in KSA)

1930 became the inaugurating 12 months of the shape and that is host Uruguay became also the first winner. The 1932 competition, first to introduce skills, also talked about its host win the cup; set in Italy for the period of fascist domination, there became a lot controversy with regards to Mussolini's impact on the referees' judgements that led to Italy's victory. because many ecu international locations had snubbed the 1930 international Cup, in 1932 Uruguay wanting to no longer take area as an indication of protest. The 1938 video games were performed in France, the position Italy retained that is call of champions of the international. Fearing a ecu monopoly of the championship, this time both Uruguay and Argentina wanting to no longer take position.

Yes they all play in the worlds most competitive league. And who is this person that says there is players from the US that are on the Italian national squad! Are you insane? The US cant even fill up their own roster with players for their own national team. Half the team for the US is naturalized citizens, some dont even think good English. Oh I even remember their captain in 1994, Thomas Dooley, the German player who could barely speak English.
