Football in England
One of the most popular sports in England is soccer, in some ways it is like a religion. Basically everyone here calls it football, but I have actually heard some locals call it soccer. The best league in the country and one of the best in the world is the English Premier League. Liverpool is home to two EPL teams, Liverpool Football Club (LFC), and Everton Football Club (EFC). Their two home fields are only about a mile apart. One of the first questions people will ask you is which of these two teams you support. While in Liverpool, I had the chance to tour around Anfield, the home of Liverpool Football Club. LFC finished second in the premier league last season.

Craig, Did you know the name of the bird in the LFC logo is actually called the Liver Bird. It's what the city is named after, as well. The "i" is a hard "i", like the "i" in like. Did you see the big one on top of the building next to the Albert Docks?
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw the big one on top of the building and I was aware of its pronunciation. That building is actually called the Royal Liver Building and it is one of the city skyline's "Three Graces" along with the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building.
