Problem for losing team (8)
I believe the answer is:
downside
'problem' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'losing team' is the wordplay.
'losing' becomes 'down' (similar in meaning).
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'down'+'side'='DOWNSIDE'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for downside that I've seen before include "Discouraging aspect" , "public school" , "Somerset RC abbey/college" , "RC school; bad aspect" , "Negative aspect" .)
