I think this stems from an English pronoun problem more than anything. When comparing teams you might say "they do such and such" (refering to the opposition), and then trying to compare to the good guys you would like to say "they" because it's correct, but it's confusing. So, instead, we say "we", and live with being incorrect and unconfusing.
