Isn't that a British thing? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but when I've watched the World Cup, the British announcers treat the team name as plural, even if for everyday usage it would be singular. E.g. "France were eliminated in the first round..."
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
