One of the game's most feared strikers, Drogba, 31, sat down with me in Baltimore recently to talk about Chelsea, next year's World Cup and what it takes to adjust to so many new managers in a short time. Here's an edited version of our conversation:Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:21:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/08/14/jesse.jackson.ivory.coast/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/08/14/jesse.jackson.ivory.coast/index.html#cnnSTCTextThe Rev.

Then there was "conflict cocoa," the chocolate source that's harvested by children and funds civil war in Ivory Coast. Now concern is rising about the minerals that go into common consumer electronics. Could that be a BloodBerry or a Conflict Cell in your pocket?Fri, 27 Mar 2009 20:32:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1853423,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1853423,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsAn Ivory Coast court has ordered two men jailed for their roles in a toxic waste dumping scandal that the government claims killed at least 16 peopleThu, 23 Oct 2008 20:00:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gregory_sica/08/14/argentina.olympics/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gregory_sica/08/14/argentina.olympics/index.htmlWith such incredible potential at its disposal, Argentina should proceed to the decisive stages of the Olympic Games without breaking a sweat.

It is the middle of the school day, but Madi, who looks to be about 10, says his family can't afford the fees to send him to the nearest school, five miles away. "I don't like this work," he says. "I would rather do something else. But I have to do this."Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:02:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/world_soccer/02/06/toure.qa/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/world_soccer/02/06/toure.qa/index.htmlNot surprisingly, Ivory Coast has been perhaps the most inspiring team at the 2008 African Cup of Nations.

But, no. After the game, the running back revealed that he longed to chat up Ivory Coast's Didier Drogba, 28, a star striker for Chelsea. Talking to Drogba, Johnson said, "would be huge ... as big as winning this game." So I arranged for a transatlantic phone call between the two, and listened in.
