I've never been to the UK, but from listening to BBC, et al, I get the impression that certain mass nouns such as "team" tend to be treated as if they meant "team members", eg, in contexts such as the quoted one. I'm guessing that "crowd", "team", "squad", "crew", etc, are treated this way.

Its a long standing English catch phrase steeped in sports history (don't ask some time last century when I was younger) may even go back via the bard to the Times Roman :-)
