In 2014 Neymar is injured and is out of part of the World Cup. If you thought this was impossible, the creators of The Simpsons didn’t. They simply predicted this in an episode where Homer’s family comes to Brazil and the father of the family becomes a World Cup referee, right in the game where Neymar is injured and substituted.
04 – Germany win over Brazil in the World Cup

And it wasn’t enough to guess that Neymar would leave the World Cup injured, the drawing even guessed who would eliminate Brazil. The only thing missing was Germany beating Brazil 7X1.
05 – FIFA Scandal

The cartoon episode also raised the issue of possible fraud in the United States Elections. In 2008 the same thing happened, they had to remove a ballot box from Pennsylvania that changed the votes for John McCain instead of confirming the vote for Barack Obama.
In an episode of The Simpsons of the same year, before the elections, the same thing happened to Homer when voting for Obama, but at the time the opponent was Mitt Romney.
