FANS have taken to Twitter to joke that The Simpsons predicted England’s drab draw with the USA years ago.
The Three Lions were outclassed by their American counterparts in a dull stalemate in their second World Cup Group B match.
Even the Wags were yawning during the game as the toothless Three Lions failed to mount any serious threat to the Americans.
That result left England still top of the group on four points, one ahead of second-placed Iran.
The USA, who take on Iran on Tuesday, are third on two points after consecutive draws.
And Wales, who England face in their final Group B match, are bottom on one point.

That means the Three Lions will qualify for the knockouts if they avoid a 4-0 defeat to the Welsh.
However, virtually guaranteeing a place in the knockouts failed to stop fans from blasting the performance in the bore draw.
Now many are convinced the hit American TV The Simpsons has actually spookily predicted the future again.
In a March 2014 episode titled “You Don’t Have To Live Like A Referee,” The Simpsons accurately foretold that it would be Germany lifting the World Cup that summer.

That followed on from a number of other predictions that eventually came true – including Donald Trump becoming US president.
And now many believe that the 1997 episode “The Cartridge Family” may have set the stage for tonight’s England stalemate.
Homer Simpson, wife Marge and kids Bart and Lisa watched a TV ad for a match that will determine “which is the greatest nation on Earth” – but just seconds into the action the former is heard screaming “boring”.
And that clip quickly resurfaced after full-time tonight in Qatar, with one tweeting: “The Simpsons predicted this.”
Another tweeted: “I was literally thinking about this as I was watching.”

A fellow fan commented: “England and USA literally mimicked the Simpsons episode where they made fun of soccer. Hyped up to max, and delivering a boring game.”
While another wrote: “Holy s***, The Simpsons predicted England vs USA.”
