Cheers Maccy - that gives you DC United (Eastern) and Los Angeles FC (Western).
The unused team is therefore Houston Dynamo.
Fixtures to follow...

Thanks for keeping me in mind, matey. Been away for a couple of days, so would otherwise have missed out on this!

Round 1 Fixtures:
Saturday 3rd March
Toronto FC (Gazz) v Columbus Crew (Countyfan) Houston Dynamo (eliminated) v Atlanta United (Steve61)
Sunday 4th March
Philadelphia Union (Epworth) v New England Rev. (Dudley) Orlando City (Lennie) v DC United (Maccy) FC Dallas (Gazz) v Real Salt Lake (Countyfan) San Jose Earthquakes (Archie) v Minnesota United (Steve61) Seattle Sounders FC (Dudley) v Los Angeles FC (Maccy) Vancouver Whitecaps (ARS) v Montreal Impact (Archie)
Monday 5th March
Sporting Kansas City (Ceefer) v New York City FC (Ceefer) LA Galaxy (Epworth) v Portland Timbers (Lennie)
Due to the way the MLS fixtures work out, the following teams get a bye this round, since they aren't playing:
New York Red Bulls (Market Harborough) Colorado Rapids (Market Harborough) Chicago Fire (ARS)
The team selection was entirely random, but as luck would have it (for Market Harborough), both of his teams are in the three not playing this week, so he is safely through to the second round already.
For the other fixtures, the majority feature two Heaveners against each other. Quite simply, if your team lose a fixture, they are eliminated and the winning team goes through. If the match ends in a draw, both teams progress.
Ceefer will be hoping for a draw, therefore, as his two teams are playing each other.
Finally, newcomer Steve only needs a draw against unused team Houston Dynamo, in order to see his Atlanta United progress, but if they lose they're out.
Hopefully that all makes sense. I'll post the first round of results on Tuesday.
Thanks for playing!

Cheers Sandy. I’ll wait until these fixtures are complete before deciding if I need to do some in depth research

My interest in this is now down 50%, as Atlanta were beaten 4-0. One of the goals was scored by P. Senderos (ex-Arsenal I believe) and the first goal was scored by an A. Wenger Honestly, you couldn't make it up!
