I think I read somewhere that usage differs between US and UK English. It's one of those areas where syntax ("team" is a singular noun) and semantics (the team is not really a singular thing) collide, and neither option is uniquely right or wrong. Of course, this doesn't stop a boss/teacher/whatever deciding what you wrote contradicts some arbitrary rule he read somewhere ten years ago and IS THAT A PREPOSITION YOU'RE FINISHING THIS SENTENCE WITH???
