Tough one:
1. Between a gulf and a cove
2. Number of league titles won by Liverpool, but not by Inter
3. Had its queen abducted
4. Spitfire
I pick 4 and 2

This is Spangen!
Argh. Spangen is where Sparta play, but... Steelers?!
[If I were a reasoning AI model, here you would find my various attempts
at understanding the reference, one of which was "maybe I should
translate Steelers in Portuguese". Looking for [bahia siderurgicos] on Google, you find nothing. Looking for [botafogo siderurgicos], Google's
AI tells you that "O termo "Botafogo siderúrgicos" provavelmente se
refere à associação do clube de futebol Botafogo com a indústria siderúrgica, que foi uma das principais atividades econômicas no Brasil
e que teve grande influência na região onde o clube se localiza, o Rio
de Janeiro. A Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN), por exemplo, é uma empresa siderúrgica que já patrocinou o Botafogo e que tem um histórico
de jogos e títulos com o clube, como a Taça Companhia Siderúrgica
Nacional conquistada pelo Botafogo em 1951." However, it turns out that...]
Bahia are known as Esquadrão de Aço = Steel Squadron.
Now---*finally*---I can pick. Even though I may be too tired to do it. Botafogo have one Futbolmetrix player (Allan), Sparta has one milivella player Van Aanholt. Argh x2. Picking a Fm player or going against a mver?!
[another round of reasoning]
Let's say that bringing Futbolmetrix' hopes (of seeing me dead last)
down thanks to a player of his would be delightful, and that if I lose,
I have a scapegoat ready.
I pick Botafogo.
