Indonesia managed to achieve a brilliant victory against Saudi Arabia with a score of 2-0 in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers held at Gelora Bung Karno, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday (11/19/2024). Famous influencer, Jerome Polin , had the opportunity to watch the match live.
Through his Instagram account, Jerome expressed his happiness for the victory achieved by Indonesia. He also showed that every time he watched the match live, the Indonesian National Team always managed to win.
On Wednesday (11/20/2024), Jerome wrote, " 2-0 FOR KING INDOOOOO CRAZY, SO EXCITING AND HAPPY!! "
He also added, " Oh yeah btw so far, every time I watch it live at GBK, Indonesia wins. Earlier at the end of the match, my friends joked: THANK YOU JEROME FOR WATCHING LIVE BROTHER LET'S GO TO THE WORLD CUP!! GREAT, "
With this victory, the curse label that had been attached to Jerome Polin was finally erased. Many netizens recalled the moment when Jerome was considered to have brought bad luck to the Indonesian National Team. One netizen commented,
" Bang Jerome broke the curse of 'if you watch you'll definitely lose', " said a netizen.
" With this, Bang Jerome's curse has officially ended, " wrote netizens.
" The curse of Jerome is broken, the curse of the white jersey is proven, " he said.
The term Jerome's curse began to be widely discussed during the U23 National Team match against South Korea last year. This had affected Jerome's psychological condition, making him feel depressed. In the midst of the euphoria of the U23 Asian Cup match, the term "Jerome Curse" reappeared, where many netizens believed that the team supported by Jerome would lose.
"Yes, I was shocked, even from the initial curse, in December last year I was actually still depressed, feeling uneasy, disturbed, really down, thinking about it all the time, so that's when I posted a story about the National Team yesterday," said Jerome in an interview on Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube last May.
"I didn't believe it but I was scared, so when I watched Golden Warrior, before I watched it I lost, when I watched it I was tense, afraid that if I lost it would be crowded again," he explained.
