Fox News: Fair, Balanced, And Wrong

You decide. See if you can spot the two major errors in this screen shot taken from a Fox News story, 5:35 p.m. Central Time, October 10, 2015 [later, there are three errors -- Don caught one I did not see]:

Soccer

Our granddaughter played in two soccer games today. One was an "academy" game (or "club" game; the important league for her). The other game was for fun, in the "recreation" league.

In the "academy game" our team won 6 - 1. Our granddaughter plays defense on this team and did not score, but she certainly prevented the other team from scoring.

In the "recreation game" our team won 3 - 1 (the other team's only scare was on a penalty kick -- which none of us understood; not even the other team). Our granddaughter scored two of the three goals; she had several more shots on goal and came close to five or six goals.

Our granddaughter, in the blue top, #31 (only the "3" shows), is wearing socks for Halloween in the photo below, in the "recreation game."
