It was live telecasted here right? So it really wouldnt be a spoiler, besides nobody will tune in if we have to watch an entire soccer game during prime time.
They showed something on a channel earlier. And now NBC has it on...(I think again).
And your right...many won't watch an entire soccer game.
I played the sport for quite a while....and I won't watch it. Its just barely fun enough to play...I never understood why people would want to watch it.
