"The Simpsons has a history of smart sporting predictions and the show might have just done it again with the Brazil World Cup. Brazil&amp;#039;s star player and striker Neymar has been forced out of the tournament after picking up a nasty injury in his country&amp;#039;s quarter-final against Colombia.  Eagle-eyed Simpsons fans on Reddit quickly realised the events had a strange similarity to recent Simpsons episode &amp;#039;You Don&amp;#039;t Have to Live Like a Referee&amp;#039;. In the episode, Homer has been bribed to fix a match for the Brazilians, but when their star player - El Divo - gets hurt in the game, he backs out of the deal. Homer continues to believe that the flamboyant El Divo dived, even when he&amp;#039;s taken away on a stretcher and then later on given a burial service.  In a worrying twist for Brazil fans, their country goes on to lose in the show 2-0 to Germany. Who will Brazil face without Neymar in this week&amp;#039;s semi-final? Uh-oh, it&amp;#039;s Germany.
