Mourinho rules out Drogba return

A month later, Montreal recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over Crew South Carolina, scoring twice in the opening 10 minutes.

The Ivorian goal-machine will be fully focused as he hopes to lead his side through the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday evening as they face Columbus Crew in the first leg. The former Chelsea star has 12 goals in 12 games and will no doubt be the focus of the Crew's defensive plans. He has in every game he's played in. "I told him I was gonna kick his butt and I spelt it out for him 'B-U-T-T, ' and I told him to spell-check it".

The Chelsea legend has 12 goals in his 12 appearances in MLS and his success there had reignited these rumors of him potentially coming back to Chelsea (or Bologna in Serie A?) on loan during the offseason.

"They can play long balls to Drogba, hold it and someone can run in behind", Tchani said.

They were 2,000 short of a sellout for a 3-0 victory over Toronto FC on Thursday night in the knockout round of the playoffs, but the 18,069 who showed up were as loud as any crowd this season. "We just have to make sure that we keep an eye on him because his movement is really good, he's very powerful in the air".

"Our team is peaking at the right time", said Legendre.

The Impact will have their own problems stopping Columbus' star striker. Oduro was best man at Kamara's wedding two years ago. He was tied for goals with Toronto FC's Sebastian Giovinco in the scoring charts, and lost the scoring title due to Giovinco's superior number of assists (16-8).

Oduro and Kamara have been friends since the 2006 MLS draft, when Kamara went ninth overall to Columbus and Oduro was taken 22nd overall by Dallas.

The TFC player to whom Kamara is most often compared is big forward Jozy Altidore. He's very mobile, too, for his size.

"He's a guy we'll have to watch out for".
