How the clue works
The definition is Football — specifically the seven-players-per-team variety. For the wordplay, take SEEN wrapped around V (half of "ten" in Roman numerals, X split down the middle) to give you SEVEN, then tack on A-SIDE, because an aside is exactly the sort of commentary a character delivers directly to the audience.
