The semi-final at the Atlanta stadium has kicked off, and the score remains nil on both sides. While things have been heating up in the match, streamer Ishowspeed was seen frustrated off the field. The reason stems from Argentinian fans.

He erupted on his stream, yelling at the Argentinian fans to “stop throwing” things at him while pointing angrily toward the crowd. After Portugal exited the World Cup, Speed watched the matches while wearing two jerseys.
For a change, he is wearing the England jersey, loudly and clearly supporting the English team. To try to trigger his infamous internet “streamer curse” against Lionel Messi’s squad. While it was supposed to be fun banter between the two teams, it turned toxic. The fans started throwing beers and objects in his direction.
Speed’s interactions with Argentina fans have drawn attention during the World Cup. FIFA also opened an investigation after reports of inappropriate behavior directed at the 21-year-old creator during Argentina’s matches against Cape Verde and Egypt.
While streaming at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami during Argentina’s match against Cape Verde, Speed was wearing a Cape Verde jersey when a fan in the stands reportedly made a disrespectful remark toward him.
During the match against Egypt, FIFA caught another section of Argentina supporters making monkey-like gestures directly toward him on the live stream. On July 7, following this incident, it was reported that FIFA launched its investigation.
The investigation is not just limited to Speed, but also to three different sets of supporters who complained of a toxic fanbase. Cape Verdean and Egyptian supporters had beer bottles thrown at them, including reports of physical altercations.
The love for the captain, Lionel Messi, has gotten a bit too much for the rest of the fans, but football runs high on emotions. And for Argentina, the World Cup trophy means a bit more because this one might just be the last dance of their captain, Messi.
The match so far has been a push-and-pull between the two teams. England scored a lead in the second half. Argentina is now pushing hard to score an equalizer. There have been a handful of fouls and cards. 1 has gone to the English team, while Argentina has had two cards under their name. Can they pull off a comeback with 15 minutes remaining before the final whistle?
