US city angry before start of every game (8)
I believe the answer is:
lacrosse
'game' is the definition.
(lacrosse is a sport)
'us city angry before start of every' is the wordplay.
'us city' becomes 'LA' (abbreviation for Los Angeles).
'angry' becomes 'cross' (cross can mean annoyed or angry).
'before' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'start of' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'every' is 'e'.
'la'+'cross'+'e'='LACROSSE'
(Other definitions for lacrosse that I've seen before include "Sport played with sticks" , "Game played with nets on sticks" , "Game played with netted sticks" , "Like thirteen of the other clues in the French" , "Score's uncertain after the Spanish" .)
