Toronto FC president says struggling MLS team can still make the playoffs

TORONTO – The president of Toronto FC says the MLS playoffs are a longshot but still possible this season.

Toronto has yet to experience the post-season, missing out the last six seasons.

And with a record of 2-8-7, the struggling club is currently 13 points out of the fifth and last playoff spot in the East.

Toronto president Kevin Payne says the team has dug itself a deep hole. But it can pick up points with a good winning streak.
