They couldn't score in a monkey brothel with a bag of bananas

Last night, Toronto FC broke Real Salt Lake's record for futility by finishing yet another match without a goal, bringing their goal-less total to 637 minutes. The old mark held by the 2005 RSL was 557 minutes. What are MoJo and TFC supposed to do?

Well one man had an idea, according to the Toronto Star. Sitting in MoJo's press conference, following TFC's 1-0 loss to DC United at BMO Field, a man weaing a TFC jersey raised his hand:

"Excuse me, sir," he said to Toronto head coach Mo Johnston. "I'm a Canadian resident. I'm a forward. I can hel-,"


But maybe MoJo should have gotten the young man's name before he was escorted from the room by security. TFC hasn't won a match since way back on July 4th, against ironically enough the former record holders RSL. Since that win, TFC has managed to score just once (a 1-1 draw with Chicago three days following the RSL win). They are 0-6-1 since the All-Star break and a possible playoff spot in their first year of existence is slipping away quickly.

So, how can they turn it around? Jeff "The douche" Cunningham, even when he's healthy, is not the answer. Danny Dichio is certainly capable, but Colin Samuel has been a complete bust as his strike partner. So, what is to be done? Unless the mysterious man at the press conference was Tomasz Radzinski ... not a whole lot.
