"A team" can function as a direct object in a sentence when it receives the action of the verb. For example, in the sentence "The coach praised a team," "a team" is the direct object because it answers the question "what did the coach praise?" However, it can also be part of a prepositional phrase or other structures where it may not serve as an object at all. The role of "a team" depends on its context within the sentence.
The sentence has two direct objects. direct object - the game indirect object - your team
direct object (team) ---- indirect object
"You" can be either a direct or indirect object: It is a direct object in "I want to kiss you." It is an indirect object in "Henry is going to give you the tickets."
The direct object is "you"; the indirect object (I believe) is "this".
A direct or indirect object is a part of a sentence. A single word in isolation is neither a direct or indirect object. However, most nouns can be used in a sentence as either a direct or indirect object.

I gave my dog a bone ('my dog' = indirect object; 'a bone' = direct object). They called me a taxi. (taxi - direct object, me- indirect object)

Direct object: his first film. There is no indirect object.
Well, hello there, friend! Let's paint a happy little picture with words. In the sentence "I gave the team a trophy," the word "team" is actually the direct object, not the indirect object. The indirect object in this sentence would be "a trophy," as it is the recipient of the action. Keep on painting those language landscapes, my friend!
indirect object
Yes. In fact, a sentence must have a direct object in order to have an indirect object. (Note, however, that some consider the subject of a sentence in the passive voice to be an "implicit" indirect object, because it the sentence is changed to the active voice, the subject in the passive voice will often become an indirect object in the active voice.)
