Crikey - that was a bloodbath!
Round 4 Results:
LA Galaxy (eliminated) 4-3 Los Angeles FC (Maccy) Columbus Crew (Countyfan) 1-2 Vancouver Whitecaps (eliminated)
San Jose Earthquakes (eliminated) 1-2 New York City FC (Ceefer) Colorado Rapids (eliminated) 3-0 Philadelphia Union (Epworth)
All of which means we sadly say goodbye to Maccy, Countyfan and Epworth. The only person to make it through was Ceefer, who joins Gazz in the final.
Further details will follow shortly.
Apologies again that this one hasn't really worked out - blame the ridiculous MLS fixture structure!

Damn you, Zlatan Ibrahimović! Cracker of a goal, though. And thanks for the game, Sandy.

Ok gents (Gazz and Ceefer) - as has become customary in the utter farce that is the MLS, Ceefer's New York City FC aren't playing next weekend, but both of our finalists feature the weekend after (14th and 15th April), so I'm going to delay the grand final until then.
There are 11 fixtures taking place that weekend, which means 20 other teams to pick from.
I've jumbled them all up, so all you need to each do, is pick two numbers from 1 to 20, and I'll then reveal the teams for our final.
Thanks for your patience with this, everyone!

Morning guys - thanks for making your selections.
Here are the teams for the Grand Final:
Team Gazz
FC Dallas New York Red Bulls Orlando City
Team Ceefer
New York City FC Sporting Kansas City San Jose Earthquakes
And here are the all important final fixtures:
Saturday 14th April
Philadelphia Union v Orlando City (Gazz) New York Red Bulls (Gazz) v Montreal Impact
Sunday 15th April
New England Rev. v FC Dallas (Gazz) San Jose Earthquakes (Ceefer) v Houston Dynamo Sporting Kansas City (Ceefer) v Seattle Sounders FC Atlanta United v New York City FC (Ceefer)
Rather interestingly, the fixtures have worked out in such a way that Gazz's games will have all been completed before the first of Ceefer's teams even kicks off, so he'll know what points total he needs to reach to win (if he can be arsed to stay up beyond midnight to find out).
Good luck to both our finalists.

Oh, and for anyone interested, here are the current league positions of our final teams:
Team Gazz: 8th, 12th, 16th Team Ceefer: 1st, 3rd, 18th
Relatively even then, with slight advantage going to Ceefer, however anything can apparently happen in the MLS (aside from every f***ing team playing in the same weekend), so it's all up for grabs!

We have a winner!
Here are the final round of results (remember, 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and a point for every goal your team scores):
Saturday 14th April
Philadelphia Union 0-2 Orlando City (Gazz) New York Red Bulls (Gazz) 3-1 Montreal Impact
Sunday 15th April
New England Rev. 0-1 FC Dallas (Gazz) San Jose Earthquakes (Ceefer) 2-2 Houston Dynamo Sporting Kansas City (Ceefer) 2-2 Seattle Sounders FC Atlanta United 2-2 New York City FC (Ceefer)
Which gives the following final score:
Team Gazz 15 - 9 Team Ceefer
Congrats to our winner, Gazz, and commiserations to Ceefer who put up a good fight in the final!
Stay tuned for the next one...
