UK/US English

[watervole]

[Poll #1291053]There are cases where UK and US English differ and I think this may be one of them.  It may also be one of those cases where I'm drawn to what I think the US version is.

It's also relevant as I'm editing a book for an American writer and want to make sure I have the correct version for America.

We had this argument about e.g. "(team name) are my dream team" versus "is my dream team". It seems to be 'are' if it means the current team, i.e. the players they field at the moment; with 'is' it means the club regardless of who they have playing for them.
