Darren Watkins Jr., also known as IShowSpeed, is a rising star in the streaming scene. With his energetic personality, he garnered a lot of popularity last year. However, the streamer has begun to draw the soccer community as his passion for the game grows.
He was one of the few high-profile streamers to stream the latest FIFA World Cup in Qatar. You might be wondering how this 17-year-old American teenager became so obsessed with soccer. So it was none other than the Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo that inspired Speed to love this global sport. The 37-year-old has hundreds of millions of followers worldwide. Among that huge crowd of people following him is IShowSpeed, who even wrote a song for the soccer athlete. But this is not the end, as Speed has done something incredible for his soccer idol yet again.
