Can we get a Score Board for USMNT soccer games?

Dear Admins,
I think it's stupid for USMNT fans to not be able to post freely during games because TN Bhoy and a couple of others get butthurt about "spoilers" on the Soccer Board. Yes there is a game thread, but it's much better to be able to have free discussion like we do during EVERY LSU or Saints game...
In order to solve this issue without anyone getting upset, can we PLEASE have a USMNT Score Board during the games?

Why can't a discussion be had on the Soccer board?

Because benhamin wants to post the score in the title and has no willpower or intelligence.

No scores in thread titles. None. Whatsoever. It doesn't matter what time of day the match is being played. The founders and veterans have etched this in stone. Don't ever put a score in the thread title. At all. Ever. Period. End of discussion.

Because any thread that has "spoilers" about the game gets whacked. Stupid, I know.
I'm fine not posting the actual score, but for example someone posted a thread titled "Fastest goal in WC history?" after Dempsey's goal and it got whacked.

I don't know why that one was whacked.

Yeah about that. See my previous post.
If you don't want to know the score then stay off the board.
PS what is so hard about calling them US men's soccer team or US men's national team?
Instead everyone has to try and give and acronym.

So we should erase the last four years of success because benhamin can't use google for 3 (maybe 4) matches?
Look at the OP for the Croatia-Cameroon match. Is that a problem?

Wait, so you can't start a thread celebrating a US (or other team's) victory because it contains spoilers?

Well if you do, it pretty much defeats the purpose of the no score in the thread title. There were about 2-3 threads giving away the result of the Spain game just now. Either delete those threads or there is no real point in keeping the score out of the game thread.
FWIW, a World Cup score board would have been a good idea. If someone wanted to discuss soccer without spoilers they could just use the regular soccer board, but its probably to late for that.

I'm of the belief that if you're not watching live and don't want to know the result, avoid the internet. I think that's more reasonable for WC than banning spoilers in thread titles.

The reason this is such a problem to most regular Soccer Board posters is that this breaks a precedent that exists on basically all soccer message boards. It's customary to have this rule and all of the posters that want this rule changed who will be gone in a month shouldn't be deciding factors in rule changes on a board they will forget about either when the U.S. is knocked out or on July 13.
I understand the argument on why the rule might not be necessary for this particular World Cup, but the rule should stand.

I agree that 95% of the posters frequenting the board will be gone in a month. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rule is in place due to the time difference between Premier League games, La Liga games, etc and the US. The majority of soccer fans are not able to watch the games live, so the spoiler ban makes sense.
However, for this WC, where the time difference is not substantial and many people are watching and following live, lifting the ban isn't unreasonable.

I think the goal is to set a precedent for the future, say in four years in Russia.
Or if people get more into soccer say for the Champions League 2014 or UEFA Euro 2016.
