Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. is a budding streaming sensation. He has gained a lot of fame in recent years due to his lively personality. But this young streamer has also begun to attract a lot of attention from the soccer community as his enthusiasm for this worldwide sport grows.
It is no secret that Speed fell in love with the sport when he watched the Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo. This 18-year-old did some crazy things to showcase his love for the former Real Madrid player, like traveling to Manchester and Saudi Arabia to watch him play or getting his impression tattooed on his arm.

Speed’s World Cup song currently has over 89 million views on YouTube. This song is undoubtedly one of the most successful songs that Speed came up with, even more than his Ronaldo song. Now it getting featured in an EA game would make it an even bigger hit.
This World Cup song even got the attention of Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies, who reacted to the song on his stream. It would be an unique experience to play this game while listening to Speed’s song like the game itself. This would be EA’s first soccer simulation title that won’t be called FIFA, as the license expired with the soccer governing body.
What do fans think about this rumor?
Fans are really excited to hear about this update about EA Sports FC featuring IShowSpeed’s World Cup song. They are more eagerly looking forward to this song after hearing about this rumor. However, there are some skeptical fans who doubt this information.
