2017 MLS Cup Final
Toronto FC v Seattle Sounders
BMO Field, December 9
2 - 0 FT
Champions: Toronto FC
Every time a final occurs in soccer, I prepare champions edits for both teams in the final. Of course, that means half of these edits don't get posted.
But since I worked hard on these edits and am proud of them, I have decided to start a small project called, "What Could've Been." This year, Atlético Madrid, Argentina, France, and Toronto FC are the runners-up of 2016.
Enjoy what could've been.

My latest project features New York Red Bulls midfielder Sacha Kljestan. The project took one month to complete on Photoshop. Below are the tools and process I used to make the edit:
TOOLS
Photoshop | HUION Drawing Tablet | Original Photo
PROCESS
I used the eyedropper tool to correctly identify colors and shades of the picture. Using the correct color, I then "painted" Kljestan using a default brush. Different areas of the image required different brush sizes (a skinnier brush was used for his hair). To make the different colors and shades seem more natural, I used the blending tool to create a more natural look. I completed the edit in the following order: face, hair, neck, chest, shoulder, sleeves.
After "painting" the image, I designed the background using the HUION Graphics Drawing Tablet. With the tablet, I was able to write and create smaller illustrations that complete the edit.
Yesterday was the finale of the European Championships of 2016. Hosts France took on underdogs Portugal, who had lost in this final 12 years ago when they were hosts against Greece.
Many people labeled France as the favorites to win; with their strong squad and the home advantage, it seemed really possible that France would lift the trophy once again. Like many of Portugal's games after the group stage, the final went to extra time after no one had scoed. Portugal was put into a difficult situation when their best player, Cristiano Ronaldo, came off after 25 minutes with a knee injury. Despite Ronaldo's injury, Eder scored the game winning goal in the 109th minute. Hosts France were left shocked as Eder lead Portugal to their first major trophy.
Congrats to Portugal!
Today was the final of the Copa America Centenario! After 32 matches later and we have a champion!
After 120 minutes of end to end action and rash refereeing, the match went to penalty kicks. Chilean legend Arturo Vidal and Argentina great Lionel Messi missed both of their penalties to begin the shoot out. Chile and Argentina continued to score their penalties until Argentina's Biglia's shot was saved by Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo. Gato Silva slotted away his penalty, winning the tournament for Chile for the second year in a row!
Congrats to Chile!
