The Miami Herald had coverage of the Strikers game on Saturday. I wrote a preview story that ran Saturday, in which I interviewed Jim Rooney then we had a game story and a photo, and I tweeted as soon as the game ended with the result. Just because it was not mentioned on this post doesn't mean it wasn't covered.
