Input fields without a name arent't included in the submitted data.
So, change this:
<p><input type="submit">
To this:
<p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
Also, $Team will only work if register_globals is set to "on" in the
PHP configuration file (php.ini).
A more reliable way is to use this format:
print($_GET["Team"]);
