You're just making them up now...Salif Diao
I'm unsure about Rogic. He failed to exactly nail down a place in Celtic.. I mean he is talented for sure but considering good league 1 players are able to make it at Celtic I wonder exactly how good he really is.
Also look out for Matt Ryan, very promising goalie who was impressive for Club Bruges this season. He should have plenty of work indeed, so time and room to shine.
Yep.Colombia & Japan could be the game of the group stages at World Cup, plenty of relative unknowns who could shine for both teams Balanta, Ibargo, Guiterrez, Aquilar & Quintero for Colombia & Okosaki, Osaka & Yamaguchi for Japan.
South Korea will be another team worth watching, Koo Ja Choel could emerge as a major star during World Cup. I think these 3 along with argentina will probably be the most entertaining teams to watch at World Cup

My tips, some are pretty well known though, others are too old and some are most likely not good enough to play for Spurs. But all are worth keeping an eye out for. Also I've avoided mentioning the obvious players.
Cuadrado, Ospina (Colombia), Peralta (Mexico), Valdiva (Chile), Ryan (Australia), Yamaguchi (Japan), Immobile, Destro, Di Sciglio (Italy), Drimic (Switzerland), Ibarra (Ecuador), Aron Johannsson (USA), Feghouli (Algeria).
Are some name to look out for. I must say I haven't watched all of these players play but have heard good things about them and look forward to see them play.
From the top of my head, 2 favourites (IMO) are missing from your list.So on @Grey Fox 's information, we're after a CB and LB, and a number of key personnel WILL be at the World Cup.
CB: Hector Moreno (Mexico & Espanyol), Nicolas N'Koulou (Cameroon & Marseille), Bruno Martins Indi & Stefan De Vrij (Feyenoord & Holland), Joel Veltman (Ajax & Holland), Eder Alvarez Balanta (River Plate & Colombia), Fabian Schar (Basel & Switzerland), Ezekiel Garay (Benfica & Argentina), Marcos Rojo (Sporting CP & Argentina)
LB: Daley Blind (Ajax & Holland), Ricardo Rodriguez (Wolfsburg & Switzerland)
Not sure if all of these would actually better our situation, though think a lot would. Any other suggestions for those two positions which are feasible?
Hopefully he starts because they need him although I think they might go with Zapata & Yepes to start the tournament, Colombia have some really technically gifted players from midfield on, however it will count for nothing if they start Armero at LB he's a liability & you would get away with Yepes in a back 3, which I think they should do with Cuadrado & Zuniga as wing backs along with Zapata, Yepes & Balanta as CB's. If Colombia could sort out the defence they could challenge to win World Cup.It will be definitely interesting to see FM great Balanta play. Will be the first time for me to actually see if he's any good in real life!
Still, we must remember that in world cup competitions organisation is much more important than the quality of players in defense. As Greece in 2004 and to a latter degree The Netherlands is 2010 are testament to.Hopefully he starts because they need him although I think they might go with Zapata & Yepes to start the tournament, Colombia have some really technically gifted players from midfield on, however it will count for nothing if they start Armero at LB he's a liability & you would get away with Yepes in a back 3, which I think they should do with Cuadrado & Zuniga as wing backs along with Zapata, Yepes & Balanta as CB's.

Balanta is so fast, he must easily be as quick as Walker & his longrange passing is to die for, he's not the greatest tackler & relies more on interceptions & reading of the game, which is very good for someone so young.
Having watched the second half of the game I really liked the look of Taider as well.Bentaleb scored for Algeria today and he played well. Hope he is one of the discoveries of this WC.
