10 times Football Manager predicted the future

#3 Rise of La Furia Roja

Spain were the World Champions in 2010

Before 2008, Spain were known to be a squad full of young talent but they were ineffective at the international stage. But one of the writers of Football Manager Stole My Life, Iain Macintosh, played a simulation in an old edition of Football Manager which predicted World Cup glory for the Spaniards in 2010, way ahead of Paul the Octopus.

Cut to 2010, Spain were absolutely killing it in the World Cup and were strong favourites to lift the trophy. The side went on to defeat Netherlands in the final and went on to become world champions for the first time in their history.

Football Manager, you’re doing it right.
