THE VOW OF SILENCE (ooooooooooh!)
 

...written long ago and respected by generations of American Expats.
 

A 'vow' may sound a bit over the top - maybe more than a bit - but this is serious stuff!

Watch the game as if it were truly live; i.e., virtually no one is aware of the final score or who won - even though the game was played earlier.

Yes, it takes some serious discipline, but we highly recommend you stay off U.S. sports web sites, don't call your state-side buddies, etc. and stay blissfully ignorant of the score. It makes for a MUCH more fun viewing.

So...to respect the enjoyment of others, if you do know the final score, please keep it completely to yourself. This can be very challenging at times, but please do it.

If you do bring along a rival fan, please brief them on the virtue of silencio.

This goes double for any email messages to your Presidente that has spent the week arranging the event. Please, no hints, rants, or anything else to do with the game result - not even as a joke.

Some tips on staying completely in the dark - Between Sat and game watching:

Be careful opening your emails from home before game watching, they'll just slip it in.

Tell your 'helpful' friends and family back home not to leave voicemail messages with the game results (otherwise they will, trust me)

CNN will toss in the rankings during the week, and boom! If we're moved up or down, you're blown.
