GRAMMAR QUESTION, Feb. 19th

Correct the errors in the following sentence:

The team were fantastic. They won the game easily and with style however the crowd were booing the referee because of a dubious call and it threw empty bottles on the field.

Remember that there is more than one possible correct answer.

Note: you can still see previous Grammar Questions of the Week; they are posted in the archive in the side bar.

Milijana: Yes, but you have changed the meaning here when you added "visitors".
Cindy: Good, but there is a little word missing!
Sara: Pretty good, but check out an agreement issue.
