IShowSpeed finally got the moment he’d been waiting for at the World Cup. The popular streamer broke down in tears on his livestream as Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of the 2026 tournament against Uzbekistan.
Ronaldo scored twice in Portugal’s Group K match on June 23, and Speed had an emotional reaction both times. The first goal was especially meaningful. Ronaldo had come into the match scoreless after Portugal’s 1-1 draw against DR Congo, where several outlets rated him the side’s worst starter. At 41 years old, he now has eight career World Cup goals, just one shy of Portuguese legend Eusebio’s record of nine.
Ronaldo followed his first goal with his signature “Siuuu” celebration, his first of the tournament. Nuno Mendes later added a free-kick strike to make it 2-0.

Speed’s reaction to the DR Congo draw had already gone viral six days earlier. He jumped from his seat and screamed when Joao Neves opened the scoring for Portugal, then watched in disbelief as Yoane Wissa scored a stoppage-time equalizer for DR Congo’s first-ever World Cup goal.
The streamer has been attending matches across the United States since the tournament started. He was at SoFi Stadium on June 13 for the USA vs. Paraguay opener, where he hit 55 million YouTube subscribers mid-match and celebrated with a backflip. The trip to Dallas on June 22 was rougher. He was wearing an Austria jersey for Argentina’s match and reportedly froze for nearly a full minute after Lionel Messi scored his record-breaking 17th World Cup goal. He eventually left the stadium and went to a Walmart, only to find Messi jerseys on the shelves.
Speed’s World Cup connection runs deeper than fandom. His 2022 single “World Cup” earned Gold RIAA certification, and Warner Records released a follow-up track, “World Cup (Champions),” which was added to the official FIFA World Cup 2026 album. He announced the news on a livestream after getting a direct message from the official FIFA account, performing Ronaldo’s “Siuuu” and saying, “It’s on the World Cup album. It’s official. Let’s go.”
