'chanaa lert' (ชนะเลิศ) basically means to win the championship/gold medal. You often hear it in the Olympics in the names of the rounds -

Final (round) - รอบชิงชนะเลิศ 'rorp ching chana lert' (รอบ = round, ชิง = compete for , ชนะเลิศ = become the champion)

Semi-final - รอบรองชนะเลิศ 'rorp rong chana lert'

Quarter-final - รอบก่อนรองชนะเลิศ 'rorp gorn rong chana lert'

'Team chanaa lert' (ทีมชนะเลิศ) would be "the championship winning team", but the names of the rounds are much more commonly used, I think it's those you're probably hearing most often.

Mike's already got it all explained. I'll just add that National Team would be ทีมชาติ -Team(m) Chaat(f).

These games have been fun to watch, I've thoroughly enjoyed them. China has put on a great show. Go USA and Thailand!

Thank's to you all for your explanations like my daughter say's maybe I am going senile, I should have figured it out myself Puu chanaa = winner therefore Puu chanaa lert =champion. By the way lets hope Thailand does well also . My daughter also gave me stick for not rooting for Thailand too, so Chaiyo Thailand. Thank's again to you all.
