The Simpsons has predicted so many things correctly... Could this actually happen?

After correctly predicting the emergence of Donald Trump as US President - 18-years ago - the world started to joke of the Simpsons writer's 'psychic abilities.'

However, if this one comes true... well it'd be just plain scary...

In an iconic episode from season nine called The Cartridge Family, all of Springfield goes to watch a match of Football...

Between Mexico and Portugal.

In the clip, which you can watch below, the announcer says:

“This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on Earth... Mexico or Portugal?”

Sounds like a final, right?

And the really scary thing is that given the surprise nature of the results in the World Cup to date, this outcome is totally plausible.

Mexico stunned the world by defeating reigning champions Germany in it's open match, while Portugal have a little lad by the name of Ronaldo to help them through, and have showed some pretty strong form themselves.

Here's how it could happen:

Seriously... if this comes true, it would be equal parts amazing and terrifying at the same time.
