Kansas City, here he comes
Impact captain returns to where it all started Last weekend, Impact captain Davy Arnaud had a homecoming of sorts, playing against long time team mate and friend Jack Jewsbury and the Portland Timbers for the very first time. This Saturday, he’s playing against his former team, Sporting Kansas City, in the city where he spent the last 10 years. “It will be pretty special,” said Arnaud. “Definitely when the schedule came out, it was one of the games that I took a look. Kansas City is a special place for me. I look forward to it.” As much as he may be anticipating the return, the former U.S. international will have to adjust to the changes that come with being the enemy on game day. “The whole weekend will be different feeling. Going to KC and staying in a hotel, sitting on the visitors’ bench, coming off a bus to the stadium for the game. It’ll be an adjustment, but I’m ready to go.” www.impactmontreal.com/en/news/2012/05/kansas-city-here-he-comes

Preview: Impact faces Eastern Conference leaders Sporting KC at LIVESTRONG Park on SaturdayWith the possibility of playing seven games in just 22 days (with Canadian Championship play), the Impact technical staff plans on bringing in some fresh legs on Saturday. Defenders Nelson Rivas and Hassoun Camara are set to see their first game action of the season following lengthy injures that kept them on the sidelines since preseason. “We’re going to have a lot of new faces on Saturday, but we are still expecting to put a good team on the field and go for the result,” added Marsch. “Hassoun has really moved himself along and he looks sharp, and so has Rivas.” “It’s really easy to play with Nelson,” said Camara. “He has such great experience from playing in Italy. He is very confident and calm in the back. I hope that the injuries are behind us and we can contribute to the team’s success, beginning with a result on Saturday.” www.impactmontreal.com/en/news/2012/05/preview-impact-faces-eastern-conference-leaders-sporting-kc-livestrong-park-saturday

Vote for Felipe
Brazilian midfielder scored game-winner in KCIf a picture paints 1,000 words, then the smile on Impact midfielder Felipe’s face after scoring on Saturday asks, “Goal of the Week nominee?” The 21-year midfielder scored his first ever goal in MLS - and what a goal it was - against Sporting KC, beating goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen with an absolute curler from 35 meters. His goal proved to be the game winner, in a 2-0 win on the road, the Impact’s first in MLS. Vote for Felipe ( www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/05/07/vote-att-goal-week-week-9) Felipe has played every minute of regular season action for the Impact this season, over 10 games. He is just the second Impact player nominated for Goal of the Week honours, joining captain Davy Arnaud in Week 2 for his header against the Chicago Fire.

Rivas' dynamite debut lifts Impact's defensive potentialMONTREAL — Montreal Impact fans had longed to watch him play, and the wait was undeniably worth it. Colombian defender Nelson Rivas made a sensational debut to his MLS career on Saturday night in the Impact’s 2-0 upset of Sporting Kansas City. Despite not having taken part in a competitive game since March 2011, the former Inter Milan center back turned in a Man of the Match-worthy 60 minutes and displayed his vast array of defensive skills, as evidenced by the five interceptions, six clearances and three recoveries he made, as well as the four tackles he won. www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/05/07/rivas-dynamite-debut-lifts-impacts-defensive-potential

]Impact, Sporting battle to rain-soaked drawMONTREAL — Neither the Impact nor Sporting Kansas City could find a goal on a damp Saturday afternoon at Stade Saputo, both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
