By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Over 36 broadcast seasons, the writing staff of Springfield has tackled nearly every major global institution. Sports storylines have yielded several coincidental hits alongside dozens of completely fabricated viral hoaxes.
| Episode & Year | Purported Prediction | Actual Show Context | Real-World Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| "The Cartridge Family" (1997) | Mexico vs Portugal in 2026 World Cup Final | Boring exhibition match played in Springfield to satirize low-scoring soccer | Unconfirmed; tournament bracket dependent |
| "You Don't Have to Live Like a Referee" (2014) | Germany defeats Brazil; FIFA corruption scandal | Homer referees World Cup matches plagued by bribery and diving athletes | Accurate hit (Germany won 2014 World Cup; FIFA officials arrested in 2015) |
| "Boy Meets Curl" (2010) | US Olympic Curling team defeats Sweden | Homer and Marge join a mixed curling team at the Vancouver Winter Games | Accurate hit (US Men's Curling beat Sweden for gold in 2018) |
