His recent reaction during the FIFA 2023 World Cup match between Argentina and Mexico would be something that the fans would hardly forget.

Notably, IShowSpeed has been an avid fan of Cristiano Ronaldo. Moreover, he has also made a song for him by the name of Ronaldo [SEWEY]. On top of that, the YouTuber even did his iconic ‘SUIII’ celebration during the Sidemen Charity football match.
