Hi all, when referring to the opponent team as a whole in a football/basketball match, should I call them "opponent" or "opponents"? When I look up this word in the dictionary, the word is defined as a person, but I wonder if it can also refer to a team of players. Many thanks! :)

But even that doesn't sound natural to me. Another example: A home buyer may want to "lock in" the current interest rate before it goes up again.
The focus here is that the field is a surface because of what the players use the field for and because of their perspective, which is where they are in relation to the field.
