Cause trouble with German outside team (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mix it

'cause trouble' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with german outside team' is the wordplay.
'with german' becomes 'mit' ('with' in German).
'outside' is an insertion indicator (some letters go outside others).
'team' becomes 'XI' (a football team, from Roman numerals for 11).
'mit' enclosing 'xi' is 'MIX IT'.

(Another definition for mix it that I've seen is " Cause trouble".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
