Admit it: the World Cup was fun.

Even the most red-blooded, gridiron-bred, futbol-phobic among you watched soccer. And you liked it.

Keep that momentum rolling with Where Are They Now?, our guide to your favorite World Cup players and who they’re playing for in the Barclay’s Premier League this coming season.

Top to bottom, it’s the strongest league in the world. And games are on Saturday and Sunday mornings — so you’ll be ‘aving a pint for breakfast.

And NBC and NBCSN will broadcast all 380 matches stateside, which means more live matches than fans in the U.K. have access to.

In our guide: the characters you’ll remember from the World Cup.

A certain shiny-domed American goalie is in there.
