How to avoid World Cup Spoilers

Streaming video service Fetch TV has developed a web-browser plug in to help World Cup fans avoid being Spoiled by World Cup results before they have had a chance to watch the game.

The ‘Spoiler Spoiler’ browser extension blocks all mentions of World Cup results on desktop Chrome or Firefox browser by scanning countries, team names, and football World Cup related terms. It replaces any potential match results with the country colours of a user selected team preventing the annoying spoilers.

“The Fetch TV Spoiler Spoiler App will help fans who prefer to record the overnight games instead of getting up. Whether your team wins or loses, it’s so frustrating to find out the result online before you’ve had a chance to watch the game, but with Spoiler Spoiler you no longer have to worry,” said Sue Brenchley, Marketing Director of Fetch TV.

“Not only are we making sure match results aren’t spoiled, but Fetch TV’s recording functionality means that football fans will be able to watch all 64 matches without endless sleepless nights stretching over the four weeks of competition. Fetch TV ensures that fans can have the best of both worlds – sport from another time zone, and sleep.”

I filed on a similar Unspoiler plug in 2013.
