There is only one way to guarantee success in a competition and that is to be perfect from beginning to end. When it came to Euro 2012, even the champion Spanish National team did not achieve perfection due to their opening match draw against Italy. However, TSN Euro Bracket Predictor winner, John Chassomeris, can claim exactly that. Chassomeris rode Canadas only perfect bracket to victory in the competition, beating out over 11,000 entries. As a result, he will keep riding all the way to PPL Park, home of the Philadelphia Union, to see the 2012 MLS All-Star Game. For Chassomeris, there is one victory that stood above the rest in his selections and when it was successful, gave him the confidence that the big prize was possible - picking the eventual tournament runner-up to eliminate Euro 2012s only flawless team in the semi-final. "The big game for me was Germany vs. Italy," said Chassomeris. "I chose Italy and everyone else had Germany. Well, history has unraveled and that night I realized I had a chance at winning the whole thing." While a rampant four-goal Spanish attack against a weakened Italian side eliminated most of the drama in the final, the rooting interests of the rest of Chassomeris family caused some pre-game anxiety. "My wife and kids were asked to leave seeing as they were pulling for Italy and I needed Spain to win," said Chassomeris. "I could not have any negative vibes around me, I was going for perfection." There was one family member firmly in the winners corner, someone who was at least partially responsible for the win in the first place. "The day of the final, I decided to stay home and watch the game with my dad. He was the one that got me so interested in soccer." When Spanish captain Iker Casillas lifted the European Championship trophy, it meant Chassomeris perfect bracket was sending him to Philadelphia to watch Canadian superstar Dwayne De Rosario and the 2012 MLS All-Stars take on 2012 Champions League and FA Cup winner Chelsea on July 25th. Much like the three-time major tournament winners that helped him achieve this honour, Chassomeris is not about to rest on his laurels. "Thank you TSN for the opportunity of a lifetime, see you all again in 2016." wholesale nfl jerseys .

Londons famous traffic circled Olympic Stadiums playing field, now swirled with a stylized Union Jack created by British artist Damien Hirst turned into a giant, swirled, Union Jack.Imagine if you will youre Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III, the first and second picks of the 2012 draft, both living up to expectations and then some, the pressure for the last 11 months that you have faced every day and now the season is over. Yes, you have media obligations, coaches final evaluations and teammates to exchange personal information with but there will come a time, a moment of freedom that you have not felt for a year, maybe even more. Both Luck, Griffin and you could easily include Russell Wilson have represented football and the NFL extremely well. But for the first two, it must be nice to get away from it all. NFL football has a high burnout rate. Even on your day off, it is not really a day off because preparing and living in anticipation is always present. For these two quarterbacks, it has been present since the combine camps began that last week of May. From the combines, it transitioned to the personal workouts. Then the university Pro Day evaluations and one-on-one interviews. The Draft, Organized Team Activities, training camp, regular season, playoffs and then bang: nothing. For about a month, you can do what you want when you want without the threat of being graded or assessed. Sometimes there are two kinds of employment. First, and maybe best, is the structured kind. You know what time you are to be at work and what time you are away from work and it leaves your mind. The second also involves knowing what time you are to be at work , what time you are to leave work but it is always on your mind. Both can pay well but the second type can burn a person out pretty fast. In looking back on the season for both Luck/Griffin, the most surprising asppect of performance to me was the consistency.dddddddddddd RG3 played the game until his body wore out. Andrew Luck played until Ray Lewis retired. Both took way too much punishment and next year will take significantly less due to their experience and both will be the "face of the franchise" for years to come. But doesnt it feel good not to have that pressure anymore, even if it is only for a month or more? I dont even know if I would go back home and see friends because you know all they are going to do is talk football. What is this guy like? What is that guy like? Why did you do this when you should have done that? And here is the best one... You know what I think? If you have a high-stress job that is always mentally present, it is a priority to leave it periodically as long as it does not hurt your work ethic and performance. And sometimes it is an uncomfortable feeling. After a week or two, you start feeling guilty that youre not at the practice facility. If your a "bubble player", you start feeling paranoid that your competition has now begun preparing while youre on vacation. Nothing can destroy a vacation more than that thought process, realistic or not. After watching the Colts and Redskins this weekend, I could not help but flinch a couple of times after Luck and Griffin took a shot or two. Now is a good time because they dont have to anticipate the reality of the possibility for six months. I have never considered football fun, but I was enamored by the challenge and now that the challenge is over for Luck and Griffin, it is time to have some fun. And at their age with a saving program well underway, you can have a lot of fun. ' ' '
