This isn’t the first time the American internet sensation has had a controversial Livestream. One of the most famous ones was when Drake also made a choice between the two soccer legends. The current controversial incident also happened on one of IShowSpeed’s live streams. The American was online reacting to different soccer videos on the internet with his viewers.
However, a video of a young Vinicius Junior grabbed the YouTuber’s attention straightaway. Vinicius Junior was seemingly picking his favorite players among two options in a rapid-fire round.
IShowSpeed reacted to an edited video that had only the clip where he made the choice between the two eternal soccer legends. However, he set the standard and the bar really high before watching the video. He said, “Okay, Now Vini Junior if you get this wrong I’m not gonna lie. I’m gonna have to block you, bro. I’m sorry. I’ll be honest”.
Having said that, he continued watching the video. To his surprise, the Brazilian winger picked the Argentine soccer legend over the mighty Ronaldo. The expression on American’s face immediately dropped while he reached for his phone. He then said, “That’s crazy bro. That’s crazy. That is like. That is old bro? What do you mean, this is probably like last year. This Vini Junior bro”.
However, this recent uproar takes nothing away from the Brazilian winger’s unforgettable performance in the Champions League recently.
