The Simpsons predicted USA would beat Sweden for a gold in curling eight years ago



The Simpsons’ writers have been very good when it comes to predicting the future over the years.

From predicting President Trump to Lady Gaga performing at the Super Bowl, they’ve hit the nail on the head many different times since its inception in 1989.

You can now add another correct prediction to their ever-growing list as it turns out they predicted the US curling team would beat Sweden for the gold medal at the Olympics and that’s exactly what happened this year.



No one could have predicted that the US would win curling gold, right? Actually, the Simpsons did in a February 14, 2010 episode. They beat Sweden, who the US happened to beat to win gold today (H/T @dansnierson) pic.twitter.com/0gkhycQ3xF — Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) February 25, 2018

If this was the Canadian curling team we were talking about, this wouldn’t be much of a prediction since they’re used to taking home the gold. However, this year’s victory earned the Americans their first-ever Olympics gold medal in men’s curling.



LOL! @TeamUSA #Curling laughs as they tell me they were given the Women’s Gold Medals! They are happy to wait for the swap 😂 @usacurl #pyeongchang2018 pic.twitter.com/1eejzUN3pW — Kenny Holmes (@KHOLMESlive) February 24, 2018

This is just one of many predictions The Simpsons’ writers have nailed over the years as they also predicted Disney buying parts of FOX, the FIFA scandal, to name a few.
