Outlook
A powerful forward who possesses a good touch around the goal, Kamara is looking to have a breakout year in 2008. After starting 13 games the past two seasons with the Crew, Kamara is hoping to carve a niche for himself as a starter with the Earthquakes. A Generation adidas player, he has great pace and at 6-3 provides a tough match-up for opposing defenders. Back in his home state, Kamara should be one of the keys to the San Jose attack this season.MLS Experience
