Cristiano Ronaldo will be hoping to win the only trophy has that eluded him when Portugal starts their Fifa World Cup campaign in North America.

The Simpsons have never been wrong. At least, that is what the internet would have you believe.

Over the years, Springfield's favourite yellow family has supposedly predicted everything from Donald Trump's rise to the White House, smartwatches, and video calls to autocorrect mishaps and the cryptocurrency boom.

Whether pure coincidence, sharp satire, or sheer luck, the show's reputation as a crystal ball for monumental world events has become one of popular culture's greatest running jokes.

Which is exactly why I am backing Portugal to win the Fifa World Cup in 2026. Because The Simpsons said so.
