What happened to the Strikers game against the Steamers prior to this game? No posts about it, like it didn't happen...Love the Strikers so IMHO all of the games should be covered because they are a growing, determined and wonderful young team! When you post all of the triumphs and defeats, you can see just how wonderfully they adjust themselves and overcome. That's where inspirations come into view...
