Team dies out (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

side

'team' is the definition.
(both can mean a sports team)

'dies out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'dies' anagrammed gives 'SIDE'.

(Other definitions for side that I've seen before include "[MAN U], perhaps" , "Sporting team" , "pretentious attitude" , "Football team" , "A quarter, or half" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
