‘The Simpsons’ Predicted USA’s Olympic Gold Medal Curling Win 8 Years Ago

Once again, The Simpsons have accurately predicted the future. Eight years ago, the show predicted that the USA would defeat Sweden in the gold medal curling game at the Olympics. And on Friday – Team USA beat Team Sweden in the gold medal game.

The episode, titled Boy Meets Curl, isn’t the first of the shows predictions. Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl half-time performance, the Ebola outbreak, the Disney-Fox merger, Greece’s economic problems, the NSA spying scandal – even the Trump winning the election. SPOOKY.

Congrats to @USACurling2018 on their gold! Not the first time the US beat Sweden, though. Marge and Homer did it eight years ago.https://t.co/HLAHXDBhgh
