- Description

"Speed curse" refers to a recurring internet phenomenon or "jinx" associated with the popular streamer IShowSpeed, where any sports team he supports or predicts to win inevitably loses. Fans track his allegiances during major tournaments like the World Cup or Euros, noting that his vocal support often acts as a "kiss of death" for the team's chances. The term is used both ironically and as a genuine superstition within his community to explain unexpected match results. It highlights the influence of creator-led narratives on how fans perceive and discuss real-world sporting events.
- Example

> The speed curse is actually real; every team he roots for gets eliminated.
> France lost because the speed curse struck again.
> Please don't wear our jersey, we don't need the speed curse ruining our season.
