IShowSpeed's love for soccer is not unfamiliar to the world. Speed has been quite vocal about his admiration for Christiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend getting him a CR7-themed cake for the streamer's birthday left Ronaldo fans in a state of envy. Needless to say, IShowSpeed was on cloud nine!

Despite being an ardent fan, the audience often mocked his on-field football skills. Some felt that his fondness for the game had nothing to do with him as a footballer. From losing a friendly match against a Norwegian college student to failing to perform well before Paul Pogba, Speed's football attempt continues to fetch pity.

A recent video captured IShowSpeed in a friendly practice match with Paul Pogba, who achieved several milestones as a player for Manchester United and Juventus. The latter was seen tackling Speed's attempts like a pro with the 'big brother' energy. The streamer started in his usual energetic spirit, yet ended up disappointed.

The man behind the lens casually commented:

"Stop doing this bro, you're not him"
"Why do you save it so easily, nonchalant? You don't have to save it so nonchalant!" ~ IShowSpeed said to Paul Pogba in the clip.

IShowSpeed's attempt against Paul Pogba stirred laughter mixed with pity in the comments. Many users poked fun at his football skills, especially since he was playing against a celebrated player like Pogba.


Some felt that Speed's enthusiasm was nothing but a facade for his poor football skills:

"Speed gotta be pretending to be this bad."

A netizen still has faith in IShowSpeed. After all, practice makes one perfect, right?

"Speed will get better one day."

A user commented on Paul Pogba's 'nonchalant' save:

"That casual save tho, he doesn’t respect speeds skill at all."

Some users felt that the equation is beyond the siblings' dynamics:

"Pogba treating Speed like a dad letting his kid win in the driveway, then blocking his shot at the last second."

Balance is the key to a good a good duo. A netizen remarked:

"Speed had all the energy, but Pogba had all the control."

Another netizen added about the clip:

"Looks like Paul forgot to give him the big brother pep talk. Sometimes, tough love comes with a dash of humor."

After scoring the winning penalty at the Sidemen Charity Match against xQc, IShowSpeed's reputation as a footballer seemed to have improved. The win caught fans off-guard as they gradually started to acknowledge his sportsmanship.

His appearance in the panel discussion at the UCL Today Program sparked significant buzz among football fanatics.
