Any Spurs players involved?

You bet! Hugo Lloris will captain France in goal against the Aussies Aussies Aussies (Oy Oy Oy) in the early match. Later in the day, Christian Eriksen will lead Denmark against Peru.

How about former Spurs?

A good number, actually. Former Tottenham player and academy grad Massimo Luongo is on the Australia side. Federico Fazio is with Argentina. Don’t forget Gylfi Sigurdsson, Iceland’s best player. Luka Modric & Vedran Corluka are both long-time members of Croatia, and Nigeria’s William Troost-Ekong is another former Spurs academy graduate who has moved on.

Any transfer targets or rival players I’m probably interested in?

Croatia’s Mateo Kovacic is a (very unlikely) Spurs target in this window, and there are a lot of CFCers who are really into Marcelo Brozovic. Otherwise, there are tons of recognizable names in the France and Argentina squads. Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi and Leicester’s Kelechi Iheanacho both play for Nigeria.
