In early Thursday morning North American professional soccer action, the Miami Internationals were challenged to a 1-4 loss on the road against the Chicago Fire, despite the continued absence of their star player, Mays, due to injury. With only one draw and one win in three matches while Mays was recovering from his injury, the team is currently second to last on the East Coast, and their hopes of making the playoffs have become extremely slim.
Even though Mays has begun to resume training, he was still unable to play in this game. The "American version of the U.S. version of the U.S." Compton Shakiri seized the opportunity to help the Chicago Fire to a 4-1 victory over their opponents with a pair of goals, becoming the center of attention.
