In Britain, Australia and New Zealand, 'root' means to have sex with or commonly replaces the word 'fuck'.

It is very strange for us to hear someone from the USA or Canada 'rooting' for a team. Makes you think 'ooooh... how many people are on that team again?'
Come on sheila, lets have a root (Come on girl, I wish to have sex with you)

I'm rooted (I'm fucked)

I'm rooting for the team (I'm having sex for the team)
