A fraudulant Twitter account claimed to have predicted the Finale

People find so many amazing ways for their malicious activities :P Today I found a page in Twitter where the author claimed to have predicted the Final match between Germany and Argentina of the FIFA World Cup 2014, event to event. Which is to say, he predicted all the key turning points of the game. At first I was shocked at the scene of it. How come someone did that almost 12/13 hours earlier? Then, a little search result in the Twitter feed showed a link to an online blog that showed how this one hell of a trick was pulled of. Guess what? He simply posted all the possible scenarios beforehand and then as the match progressed he deleted each of them, keeping only the key points which were both in his feed and actually happened. This resulted in a Twitter account with posts showing only the key moments which turned the game :P What could be an alternative way?
