國隊

国 = 囗 + 玉 : Mnemonic symbol: a nation's flag. Let's say the Chinese flag.

In the observatory's kitchen (o2) Gitta Giraffe (gu) is practising her ballet performance. She got a whole crate (囗) full of jade bracelets (玉) and flags (国) and fixed one flag to each jade bracelet. This makes a perfect combination for throwing the ring with the flag waving behind it and catching the ring again after a few pirouettes.

队 = 人 + 阝 : The pope (阝), Neanderthal Man (人) and Doggy Dog (du) want to complete their squad (队) to consist of four persons, so they are casting potential members in the Eiffel Tower's bathroom (ei4).
