Topic: Pairings "a" and "b" consist of tracks from two different bands that share exactly one word in their names. To keep things fair, we aren't counting bands with identical names, and that shared word has to be a noun or a verb. It can't be a musical genre (like "rock," "blues," or "jazz"). Also, let's exclude any groups that essentially evolved from one another (like RATM and Prophets of Rage) or acts that function as tribute bands.
01a Ram Jam - Black Betty 01b Pearl Jam - Black 02a Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly 02b Backstreet Boys - As Long As You Love Me 03a Sex Pistols - Holidays In The Sun 03b Sex Gang Children - Sebastian 03c Alien Sex Fiend - Hurricane Fighter Plane 04a Southern Death Cult - Moya 04b Christian Death - Church Of No Return 04c Death in June - Break The Black Ice 05a The Paper Kites - Walk Above The City 05b Paper Lace - In The Morning

They definitely don't need to.
I actually gave some thought to that myself since I once submitted a case exactly like that, but I eventually figured it might make things a bit too difficult. 🤔😁
Topic: Under "a" and "b," I'm listing pairs of bands that share exactly one word in their names. To keep things fair, we aren't counting bands with identical names, and that shared word has to be either a noun or a verb. It can't be a musical genre (like "rock," "blues," or "jazz"). Also, let's exclude any groups that branched off from one another (like RATM and Prophets of Rage) or act as tribute acts.

Honestly, out of all the younger coaches running the show these days, Biscan is the one who leaves me feeling the most... I don't know, indifferent? He doesn't stink, but he certainly doesn't have that certain *je ne sais quoi* either. For me, guys like Tomic, Jakirovic, Kovacevic, and Garcia are miles ahead when it comes to actually having a recognizable footballing identity.
It’s pretty clear you haven't really been watching his work. You can spot his "park the bus" approach from a mile away. It's a fantastic tactic for scraping points in the Champions League group stages against teams that are objectively much stronger than yours, but the real issue is how he's supposed to navigate through tougher matchups like those in the NBA or similar high-level competition. And don't even get me started on winning the MLS without actually playing any dominant football.

They specialize in all that deep statistical analysis we love, and they decided to crunch the numbers on a specific trend. By looking at the top 75 national leagues worldwide, they tracked which clubs have been getting handed the most penalty kicks from January 2020 through April 2023.
Leading the pack is Herediano over in Costa Rica, who racked up a massive 44 penalties during that stretch. Right on their heels—trailing by just a single kick—are the Split-based club and Egypt's Zamalek. For the guys in Split, that means they've been awarded 43 penalties in the American top flight over the last three years and three months.
