I often find myself making a comment pointing out the quite obvious fact that two particular dissimilar entities are not, in fact, the same. Why would I do this so often? inspired by Beccaann's puzzle...normally I give these away and then have to wait ages, but I held myself back this time...Enjoy! | ||

You have to point out that two national teams aren't one and the same... I'm sure I should be able to get this now, but I can't figure it out, so let's go for the traditional LTPF method... Is the South American team Argentina? Brazil? Chile? Ecuador? Bolivia? British Guyana? Dutch Guyana? Colombia? Peru? Paraguay? Uruguay? French Guyana? (I think that's all of them...) Is the European team England? Ireland? Northern Ireland? Wales? Scotland? Spain? France? Italy? Germany? Sweden? Denmark? Norway? Switzerland? Eastern Europe? Western Europe? Are the team kits relevant? Brazil's and Sweden's are similar-ish. | ||

Would you say it after Northern Ireland scored? Would you be making a favourable comparison with Brazil? "Brazil haven't just beaten Sweden 2-1" Would you compare their style of football to Brazil's? Might this work if you compared them to a different country which is famous for being good at football? | ||

Is it a short phrase? Is the exact wording relevant? Always the same? Might you express the same sentiment in different words? Might it be possible for me to say the same thing having just seen England score (substituting NI for Brazil)? Do you imply that NI are better than Brazil? That certain players are better than certain Brazilian players? Is it relevant that Brazil have won the world cup? that NI haven't? | ||

Is there some particular song that you regularly sing? Oh - I've heard Sheffield Wednesday fans sing "we're not Brazil, we're Sheffield Wednesday..." (to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic). Have they pinched this song off you? (Or vice versa?) | ||
