Brilio.net - Lately, Jerome Polin has often been associated with the defeat of the team he supports. This gave rise to the public perception that he brought curse or bad luck to the team. Most recently, he made an Instagram story, supporting the Indonesian National Team in the semifinals on Monday (29/4). As a result, Indonesia actually lost badly with a score of 2-0 to Uzbekistan.
In fact, there is no scientific explanation regarding this. However, coincidentally, for some reason, many teams collapsed after being supported by the Japanese graduate influencer. As a result, the words "Jerome's Curse" emerged and sparked jokes and jokes among netizens.
Some examples of Jerome's Curse are first, when the man born in 1998 once tweeted the meme "masbro capybara" which in the end the meme became no longer popular. Furthermore, the Kana-boon Band disbanded after Jerome Polin sang one of his songs, namely Silhouette.

Even a basketball team like the Golden State Warrior had to lose 3 consecutive matches. One of the players, Stephen Curry, experienced frustration. This all happened after Jerome made a story about how he couldn't wait to watch the basketball team.
Including the Indonesian team's defeat against Uzbekistan. Jerome posted a post apologizing and clarifying his support.
Tonight, Indonesia fought again in the match to win 3rd place in the AFC U-23 Asian Cup against the strong Iraqi team. Apart from standing on the third podium, this match could also bring Indonesia into the group phase of the Paris Olympics. Therefore, of course what Indonesia hopes for is victory.

The public asked Jerome not to post his support for the National Team. It's true, he didn't do that. However, because he was considered to have magic and the 'skill' to defeat the team he supported, he instead created a story that openly supported Iraq.
Exactly with the previous format of supporting the Indonesian National Team, he provided support after watching the last match. Namely when Iraq had to lose against Japan in the semifinals. Jerome praised Iraq's game and hoped that they could win against the next team, which was none other than Indonesia.
"After watching the Iraq versus Japan match. Really excited, the game was really good. Hopefully we can win next. Let's Gooo Iraq," he wrote.
