"Spam W Vini in the chat": IShowSpeed reacts to Vinicius Jr winning FIFA Best Men's Player of the Year
During a livestream on December 17, 2024, Darren "IShowSpeed" expressed his happiness at Vinicius Jr. being named the FIFA Best Men's Player of the Year. The YouTube star is a fan of the Brazilian forward and has frequently expressed his support for him over the years.
In fact, the content creator was upset when Rodri won the Ballon d'Or this year. He was livestreaming at the official ceremony and could not believe Vinicius Jr. did not win. Following the event, he posted a photo with the Real Madrid star on social media, captioning it with "u deserved it bro":
After Vinicius Jr. was named the FIFA Men's Best Player of the Year, IShowSpeed encouraged his viewers to flood the chat with the footballer’s name in celebration. In his excitement, the streamer mistakenly claimed that the player had won the Ballon d'Or instead:
"Vini Jr. won the Ballon d'Or! Everybody spam W Vini in the chat!"
"Congratulations to my boy": IShowSpeed says Vinicius Jr. deserves the 2024 FIFA Men's Best Player of the Year
While IShowSpeed is well-known for his IRL streams from around the globe, his fame stems from his passionate enthusiasm for sports. His first international broadcasts were primarily focused on attending football matches in Europe and Asia. His European tour earlier this year, in particular, was centered around livestreaming from the UEFA Euros.
As one of YouTube’s most popular streamers, Speed has interacted with numerous athletes across various sports, including American football players like Tyreek Hill and Olympic champions like Noah Lyles. His love for soccer has also led him to connect with several football players during his streams, including a memorable collaboration with Zlatan Ibrahimovic during his visit to Milan.
As a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, IShowSpeed has also been an outspoken supporter of Real Madrid players like Vinicius Jr. After learning that the Brazilian won the 2024 FIFA Best Men's Player of the Year award, the streamer said the forward deserved it:
"Deserved! Deserved chat, deserved. Everybody spam W Vini man. Vinicius Jr wins the FIFA Best award as Player of the Year 2024. Congratulations to my boy Vini Jr, bro, congratulations man. That's crazy chat, nah chat this is crazy. He deserved it."
