re: Can we get a Score Board for USMNT soccer games?

Yeah, I'm not really sure why match results can't be discussed in the match thread. Is there really a need to have people creating threads just to say "Adios, Spain?"
I think the biggest issue here is that the regulars of the Soccer Board have an expectation that match results won't be spoiled, regardless of the time zone in which the games are played. That's the precedent that's been set and it's worked for 4 years. For me, I work while 2 of each day's 3 matches are being played while I can get home in time for the 2nd half of the 3rd match. I do like to check in on the Soccer Board during the day to see if any new transfers have happened or to see what new rumors are flying about. And there is still good discussion regarding topics other than the World Cup matches. So it would be nice if I could do that without the possibility of someone ruining a result for me. Now, I don't get pissed when that does happen since I have limited time available to watch matches, but it's nice to know there's a place to go and discuss the sport without the possibility of spoilers.
I guess a score board could help those that can't grasp the idea of no scores or spoilers on the board, but is it truly worth the time and effort to make that happen?

Well at least two of those threads were started by soccer board regulars, so its not like its the casual fans causing the problem, even though that's what TN bhoy will say.
I kinda agree with you that its too late. Might have been a good idea to start.

When you watch the 2nd half of that third match do you put tape at the bottom of the screen? ESPN is running their bottom line witch gives the results of the other matches of the day?
