Can we please refrain from posting World Cup Spoilers in thread titles?

2. I am sorry. It is just that I find this so exciting, that I can't help it.

I'll hide the scores in the text. Will that do?

3. That would great.

It's not just you, I've seen it a few times already. So many people watch it on DVR, you know?

Thanks in advance.

7. Well stay away from all communications until you watch the match...

The final scores are blasted on the front page of almost every news site. If you really don't want to spoil it turn off the radio, the tv, your cell phone, and computer... I'm not even a fan and saw the results while out for a few hours this afternoon in two separate but odd places. A sandwich shop TV and a radio news report at the hardware store. And that was before I got home and surfed a few news sites.

thread a put a spoiler alert, just like we do for movies, TV shows, etc.

It's not a huge thing to ask.
