#20: Liverpool
I kind of imagine everyone in Liverpool just looks like John Lennon, walking around with long hair and a colorful suit, permanently fixed in a perfect Abbey Road pose. Everywhere you go, you hear people humming along to Yellow Submarine in their crazy accents. It sort of doesn’t add up with a world-class professional soccer team.
Yet, Liverpool FC is just that – a world-class soccer team. Their fans are among the noisiest in the league, and their players among the best, which is why the team could already be sold for over $3 million more than ten years ago. And if they keep playing as they are, that number will just keep growing.
