55 Times “The Simpsons” Predicted the Future, and How Right They Were!
FIFA Corruption Scandal – Season 25, Episode 16
Soccer seems to be and is supposed to be a clean and harmless sport, so it was a surprise when the FIFA scandal was exposed in May 2015, leading to the arrests of over fourteen top officials. While most people wouldn’t have seen it coming, any Simpsons fan had seen that plot before.
In a scene released a year before the scandal, Homer had been approached by a fictional international organization wanting him to be a referee on their side, but he declined. By now, we have confidence in the animation’s predictions, unlike FIFA.
