Well, it's a matter of point of view.  If I choose to go left, then 
Hashem always knew I was going to go left.  If I choose to go right, 
then Hashem always knew I was going to go right.

There's no such thing as foreknowledge or hindknowledge from Hashem's 
point of view, because He isn't contained by time.  There's just 
knowledge.  It's a semantic fallacy to talk about "when" He knows something.
