Ah Florida... it's The Sunshine State ya know? Oranges, Space Shuttles, flamingos, swamps and now Toronto FC! Our beloved boys in red track suits have departed the polar confines of Canada and have done what many Canadians do this time of year - head south. Mo's Marvels and a U-Haul full of trialists have decamped to cosmopolitan Bradenton, Florida where they will run around like puppies on natural grass and try not to get injured/ make the team. It's not all wind sprints and keepy-uppies though; there are always a few odd surprises...
11. Due to tiny size of squad, team is sharing a one bedroom motel room
10. Tourists gather daily to watch the British players turn bright red in the Florida sun
9. Rohan Ricketts asked to attend - thought TFC was going to see "Flo Rida"
8. Team had a 3-3 draw in match against the remaining cast of "The Golden Girls"
7. Florida's numerous retirement homes perfect for TFC scouting trips
6. During tour of The Everglades, team found members of Tampa Bay Mutiny roaming around aimlessly
5. Trialists keep asking Mo "where the Return half of their airline ticket is?"
4. Club took a team building trip to Disney World - left Chad Barrett on The Teacups
3. Jim Brennan and Marvell Wynne keep showing up to practice dressed as Miami Vice's Crockett & Tubbs
2. Every morning, Mo stands on the beach hoping that cheap Cuban players may come to shore on a raft
1. New back-up goalkeeper on trial - an alligator
