Ross

I believe the answer is:

considered

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'thought?' is the definition.
(considering is a kind of thinking)

'opposing team with angry' is the wordplay.
'opposing' becomes 'con' (I've seen this in another clue).
'team with' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'angry' becomes 'red' (someone may go red when angry).
'con'+'side'+'red'='CONSIDERED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for considered that I've seen before include "respected" , "Thought carefully about" , "Deliberated" , "Believed to be" , "Looked at" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
