The YouTube streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. has developed a great interest in this global sport lately because of his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo. So, Speed dreamt of seeing his idol lift the World Cup. But that dream was smashed when CR7-led Portugal saw an exit in the quarterfinals against Morocco.
But the YouTube streamer had another burst of emotion when his idol’s greatest rival, Lionel Messi, led Argentina into the finals. So, the young streamer decided which side to support in the finals.
IShowSpeed wants Kylian Mbappe to defeat Lionel Messi in the World Cup finals
Like any other die-hard Cristiano Ronaldo fan, it is hard for IShoeSpeed to see his idol’s rival lift the prestigious World Cup. So, the young streamer is cheering for the French side in the World Cup finals against Argentina. But this is not the only reason for Speed to side with Les Bleus.
The other key reason for the 17-year-old to cheer for France is Kylian Mbappe. The French striker is an elite player and a key figure in the France national team, but he also admires the Real Madrid legend. So, Speed is actually rooting for a fellow CR7 fan in the final than Mbappe.
Speed has asked his fellow ‘Ronaldo fan’ Kylian Mbappe to prove his admiration for the Portuguese superstar in the FIFA World Cup finals. He tweeted, “Mbappe if you’re a true Ronaldo fan then u better slay Messi in the World Cup.”
Adin Ross doesn’t agree with the YouTube streamer
The Twitch superstar Adin Ross is friends with IShowSpeed. However, this 22-year-old streamer and Watkins don’t share the same soccer idol, as Ross cheers for the Argentine soccer phenomenon Lionel Messi.

Ross didn’t agree with Speed and hailed Messi as the greatest soccer player of all time over Ronaldo. The Twitch stream replied to Speed, “Bro. What r you on about speed? Messi is the true GOAT Darren… Ronaldo doesn’t have the heart like Messi. He sat on the bench for every game basically. Messi plays every minute. Your dad even said it ‘messiah’.”
