IShowSpeed, YouTube star, has retired from football
After his legendary performance in the Sidemen Charity Match 2023, YouTube star Darren IShowSpeed has made an incredible return to the streaming world. The Ohio native alluded to his hesitation to return to the soccer pitch during a recent edition of “The Kai ‘N Speed Show” on Rumble.
This may have been motivated by his noteworthy mistakes made throughout the game. JJ “KSI”‘s save of IShowSpeed’s penalty attempt and his subsequent failure to score with the custodian out of position have cemented their place in sports legend. With his alluring charisma and appealing content, he now appears determined to keep dominating the digital space.
IShowSpeed declines to play IRL football, saying, “I retired.”
In the most recent episode of “The Kai ‘N Speed Show” on Rumble, IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat made their much-awaited live-streaming comeback on September 10.
When Kai inquired about the British visitor’s interest in football during the stream, Darren interrupted and made the unexpected news that he was quitting the game. It was a turning point in the history of internet entertainment, one that left spectators both astonished and intrigued.

In an unexpected twist, his speech might have been delivered with a hint of humor, opening up the exciting potential that he could eventually conduct a victorious comeback to the sporting arena.
It’s important to note that this was not the first occasion that he openly expressed his unhappiness after his performance in the Sidemen Charity Match of 2023. Such open expressions suggest a richer story in this athlete’s exciting journey that has yet to be told.
It’s a given that Darren likes to make jokes in his speeches. His most recent video, though, sparked a chain of events in his neighborhood. A startling total of 13 goals were scored in the Sidemen Charity Match, not counting Darren’s hilarious penalty miss and other blunders. This humorous ending, which was characterized by Darren’s distinctive wit, is destined to live on in athletic legend.
Soccer idol Cristiano Ronaldo has been known to score goals in seconds. He is also lightning-fast in rounding up millions. His YouTube channel, UR. Cristiano, launched on Wednesday (August 21), acquired a million subscribers in 90 minutes, setting a world record as the fastest YouTube channel to cross the million-mark. The subscriber numbers continued to multiply like his prolific goals and surpassed 14 million by Thursday (August 22).
Well, what do you expect of the soccer star who has earned over 200 caps, scored 130 international goals, and won the Ballon D’Or five times?
Ronaldo legions
The 39-year-old Portuguese star forward, who plays for the Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, has 112.5 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), 170 million on Facebook, and 636 million on Instagram, reports Reuters.
Those are larger figures than the populations of entire nations, but that’s Ronaldo, that’s Cristiano, and his followers are following him on YouTube, too.
A glimpse of his home life
Especially because his channel promises glimpses of his home life – what you don’t get to see on the sports channels and match reports.
“Ronaldo’s new platform is designed to give fans a glimpse into the life he leads with partner Georgina Rodriguez,” reports the Independent.
“Ronaldo also shares a number of his passions… and gives his takes on NFL vs NBA, boxing vs UFC and Rafa Nadal vs Novak Djokovic.”
Ah, just what some of the fans wanna know!
Team C Ronaldo claims Ronldo’s YouTube broke another record by reaching 10 million subscribers in less than 12 hours.
It took @MrBeast 132 days to reach 𝟏𝟎 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 subscribers on YouTube and become the fastest to reach this milestone.

Of course, you can look back and wonder at Ronaldo’s on-field exploits, too.
Like the goal he scored for Real Madrid against Atletico in 14 seconds in 2003 – lovingly preserved on YouTube on the Real Madrid channel.
In the soccer hall of fame, Ronaldo has to contend with Lionel Messi – and it looks like he has rivals on YouTube, too.
100-million-plus subscriber channels
While he is off to a flying start on YouTube, with more than 14 million subscribers gained within two days, there are still mountains to climb.
American YouTuber MrBeast has the largest number of subscribers – a jaw-dropping 311 million. It took him 132 days to reach that figure, says Team C Ronaldo.
The Bollywood music site T Series is second with 272 million followed by Cocomelon – Nursery Rhymes with 180 million.
WWE is the top sports channel – 10th overall – with 103 million subscribers.
So, Cristiano still has a long way to go. But his fans will be enjoying the journey with him.
Epic Showdown: Ronaldo and Messi Clash in Nine-Goal Thriller
It was an epic showdown in Saudi Arabia where hot shot Cristiano Ronaldo clashed with World Cup winner Lionel Messi that turned out to be a massive 9-goal thriller.
In 2022, it seemed that Ronaldo’s career was on a downturn, particularly after being frequently benched by coach Erik ten Hag. However, after leaving the United, Ronaldo found a new home at Al-Nassr, where he is treated like a true star. And he showed why the Saudi club put their trust in him.

The special treatment has seemingly reinvigorated Ronaldo, and he has rediscovered the form that made him one of the best players in the world. This was evident in the exhibition match against long-time rival Messi, where both players scored.
Despite the efforts of Ronaldo and Messi, the 10-man Paris Saint-Germain team emerged victorious with a final score of 5-4, thanks to a late goal by Hugo Ekitike.
Football fans across the world received a lot of bang for their buck as a tale that has dominated the sport for more than ten years appeared to come to a close in a memorable goalfest, even though the match may not have much lasting relevance for the clubs involved.
Ronaldo and Messi’s alleged rivalry
The rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, two of the greatest soccer players of all time, with a combined total of 12 Ballon d’Or wins, has dominated the sport for over a decade and a half. Fans of the sport often find themselves fiercely supporting one or the other.

Their rivalry reached its peak during the nine years they competed against each other in Spain, while Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid and Messi for Barcelona.
Their latest encounter at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh was nothing short of thrilling. Ronaldo scored twice, offsetting goals from Messi and Marquinhos in an exciting first half. The match was further intensified by the sending off of PSG’s Juan Bernat for a lunging tackle on Saudi international Salem Al-Dawsari.
Both of their fan clubs are insane, especially on Twitter. The fights that they would have about their idols regarding the majority of the Premier League news is shocking. There were times where a transfer deal was going on with a club unrelated to the players, and either a Ronaldo or Messi fan would criticise one or the other.
The picture posted on B/R Football’s Twitter page seems neutral. It shows Ronaldo and Messi shaking hands after a good day’s game over the years and the multiple teams that they were in during the time. It shows that the fans and the media are the ones pitting them against each other.
There was never a comparison, it was only stirred up by corrupt journalists and Bots on SM, Ronaldo was mostly nothing but a tap in merchant, not even close to roben or henry per example, not even top 20 of all time, let alone comparable to #Messi🐐
As fans of the sport, it’s important to recognize that the time for these legends to shine on the field is coming to a close. Instead of continually arguing over who is better, it’s crucial that we take the time to cherish and appreciate the remaining years these players have left.
Many fans have already begun to commemorate this special moment in time, with some creating movie posters to capture the essence of this rivalry. It’s likely that in the future, movies will be made about the lives and legacies of both Ronaldo and Messi, as well as one that specifically highlights their intense rivalry. It’s a moment in history that should be savoured and remembered for years to come.
To no surprise, even positive tweets like this will still attract fans that are vehemently against the other player. One fan managed to even call Messi “Pessi.” Messi fans then posted photos of statistically how he is better than Ronaldo.
Regardless of this, it is understandable that there will be people liking one player more than the other. It is quite normal for everyone who is in the spotlight, regardless of their career. It is especially towards celebrities, to which the both of them are.
However, it’s important to remember that these players are more than just athletes, they are human beings who deserve respect. Using inappropriate language or attacking other fans for supporting them is not acceptable behaviour.
Both Ronaldo and Messi have made an indelible impact on the sport of football and their contributions cannot be replicated. Like Pele and Diego Maradona, they are irreplaceable legends in the history of the sport. It’s important that we recognize and appreciate their achievements rather than resorting to name-calling and divisive behaviour.
Lionel Messi’s thoughtful exchange with a fan on Wednesday struck as a poignant contrast to his rival Cristiano Ronaldo’s previous incident. Messi’s response demonstrated his empathy, in contrast to Ronaldo, who shooed away a fan attempting to take a selfie during Al-Nassr’s AFC Champions League playoff match. These divergent behaviors highlight the variety of personalities that characterize the football world.
After Inter Miami defeated Cincinnati on penalties to go to the US Open Cup final following a 3-3 tie in extra time, Messi’s attitude changed just 48 hours later. According to The Express, Messi and teammate Acosta swapped jerseys before sharing a touching moment in which Messi stroked Acosta’s daughter while her son, who plays minor football, looked on. This striking contrast in Messi’s behavior perfectly encapsulates his vivacious sportsmanship.

In the world of sports, two significant game emblems were contrasted in a striking way via fan interactions. These legends’ meetings were noticeably different from one another, which highlighted their special bonds with fans. It’s also important to consider how Ronaldo’s response could have changed if the incident had occurred while he was riding the high from his team’s victory.
How Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo performed for their respective clubs in midweek
Football legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have scored over 800 goals for their sides and have combined for an amazing 12 Ballon d’Or honors. Their brilliance is unaffected even as they near the end of their professional lives.
For Al-Nassr this season, Ronaldo, 38, has scored six goals in eight games, securing the Arab Club Champions Cup. He recently contributed a significant assist in an AFC Champions League game that helped his team rally from a 2-1 deficit to a dramatic 4-2 triumph with two goals in extra time.
Messi, 36, quickly established himself at Inter Miami following a free summer transfer.
In just seven games, he put on a spectacular show, scoring 10 goals and adding an assist.
Inter Miami won the Leagues Cup thanks to this remarkable performance, giving them their first championship in just five short years of existence.
In a recent matchup between Cincinnati and the US Open Cup:
Messi’s contribution went beyond his goals, as he set up two crucial assists for Leandro Campana.
The exciting seventh minute of extra time saw the second assist that brought the score to 2-2.
This amazing accomplishment forced extra time and demonstrated Messi’s crucial contribution to his team’s victory.
The superstar senior of Manchester United has recently followed the young player, Alejandro Garnacho on Instagram. United fans found the social media interaction to be a touching one as it shows that the team is close knitted.
But it is also a historic moment that would never have happened without social media platforms that allow a transparent way for people to express themselves.
In the case of Ronaldo and Garnacho, it is the top player who is at the end of his football career who made a great overture towards a young player who is starting his career.
Ronaldo’s pass in the Manchester United versus Real Sociedad match is a pass that opened the door to scoring for Garnacho at European level. Garnacho will never forget both moments.
Garnacho joined the club all the way back in 2020. He was only 16 at the time. He represented Spain at the under-18 level and debuted for Argentina at the under-20 level. The Madrid born player has an impressive resume for an 18-year-old.
Ronaldo, the Portuguese footballer who has a record of almost 500 million followers on Instagram currently follows just 522 people. He follows quite a number of people but they are probably the ones he knows personally.
However, for Garnacho, he is literally one in a million as the following-followers ratio of Ronaldo’s Instagram page proves that. Currently, he has almost two million followers on Instagram. Still quite impressive for an upcoming player nonetheless.
Netizens were surprised with the fact that he takes inspiration from Ronaldo instead of Lionel Messi. This is due to his links with Argentina, and he apparently chose Ronaldo to be his inspiration by “following his heart.”
Some even claimed that the Portuguese player sees himself in Garnacho. Regardless of his problems in United, people are still showing respect to Cristiano. Many are stating that his close relationship with Antony and now Alejandro proves that he is an inspiration to the youth in the club.
Garnacho celebrates using Ronaldo’s signature gesture
On Twitter, netizens went wild as the youngster was photographed following Ronaldo’s footsteps by doing his favourite pose. This specific pose that made the 37-year-old legend a trendsetter all across Portugal with even newscasters copying it.
It appears that he is a trendsetter in Manchester United as well. “Whether you call him finished or not, you can’t deny his influence is unreal,” said a netizen. Some were accusing him of paying Garnacho to make the same pose, but they were shut down by other netizens.
However, there were superfans bashing Lionel Messi instead by saying that Ronaldo is the true Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T). Others stated that he is literally walking in the footsteps of his idol and getting the proper guidance from him on top of that.
During the Europa league match, Ronaldo’s pass to Garnacho helped him score the only goal of the game as Manchester United beat Real Sociedad on Thursday..
It was the 18-year-old’s first senior goal for the club as he latched onto Ronaldo’s pass before finishing brilliantly with his left foot and later, footage showed Garnacho asking Ronaldo if he could do his new celebration – which he then did.
A Manchester United fan criticised Ronaldo by calling him “Penaldo” and made an interesting short story about pens and lecturers. It is undoubtedly creative, and some might even question the death of poetry while reading it.
