Already with the Qatar 2022 World Cup in full swing, with some expected results and some – for many unpleasant – surprisespredictions are the order of the day.
In this sense, how could it be otherwise, The Simpsons had something to say. Yes the animated family which has marked the history of television and generations of viewers, advanced a possible World Cup final.
spoiler alert: Despite being one of the favourites, the Argentina national team is not in the game.
The Simpsons prediction on the winner of the World Cup in Qatar 2022
We all know that. The series created by Matt Groening carried forward episodes that seemed absurd and, over time, they have come true.
A) Yes, predicted the fall of the Twin Towers in 2001, the 2008 US election (in which Barack Obama beat John McCain), the presidency of Donald Trump and the unexpected emergence of the coronavirus.
In this case, the omen appears in chapter 16, called “You don’t have to be a referee”from season 25. In it, they tell how Homer Simpson officiates the cup final.
According to what the series of the yellow family tells, next December 18 will be Brazil and Spain those who will compete for the maximum prize. Argentina? No, it’s not in the forecast.
As with everything, there are always two looks. In this case the same thing happens: it is that although for some Spanish media – including, independent– Your selection is the winner, in fact, Brazil wins.
You can even see how a Spanish player tries to avoid a sending off, bribe Homer with -literal- a “money ball”.
Fortunately, and beyond the fact that some fans want to take this result for granted, the truth is that this chapter came out a few days before the Brazil World Cup 2014so that the advance would be valid for that championship.
It goes without saying that this was nowhere near the last match of that World Cup: Argentina and Germany played it, and the latter was champion. Sure, They were right that Neymar would suffer an injury.
