Montreal Impact fans have watched their team flourish with Didier Drogba, but it is quite possible they may have to share his talents with another group of fans in Italy.
It’s been a wildly up and down season for both Columbus Crew South Carolina and the Montreal Impact, but they’ve both found their way into the conference semifinals.
Even more incredibly, the Ivorian’s antics for Montreal Impact against the Columbus Crew shot-stopper only resulted in a paltry booking.
They are a team that nobody wants to play at the moment. They will face the highest remaining seed after the first round games are played.
“With Higuain he goes just about everywhere and then at times they move two or three players between the lines and it becomes hard to cover”.
Chelsea have endured a miserable start to the season, with their 3-1 defeat to Liverpool their sixth Premier League loss already this campaign. “We need to further the process, and that’s getting out of the next round”. “They didn’t really penetrate very often”. They might have the most clinical striker and best defender in the league, a combination that does not bode well for any opponent.
Everything points to Sunday’s rematch being another tight affair.
