After Portugal was ousted from the world cup, IShowSpeed was seen sobbing. In the quarterfinals, Morocco defeated the European team, which Youssef En-Nesyri’s goal led to victory.

In order to watch his beloved team, particularly his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, Speed flew all the way from the United States. Unfortunately, he was unable to see him in action because he was benched for two straight games. Additionally, IShowSpeed became the target of yet another pointless controversy when tens of thousands of fans criticized him for the “Ronaldo Curse.”

Speed observed Ronaldo sitting on the bench during the quarterfinals, like he had in the previous games. The situation, however, took a turn when Portugal manager Santos sent Ronaldo back onto the field after Morocco scored its opening goal. The world and Speed were delighted to see the legend, which altered the mood in general.

Their joy, however, soon subsided as Portugal left the game with a defeat following the final whistle. Speed, who broadcasted the entire game live, started to cry and publicly shared his feelings.

For the next few minutes, fans were treated to a string of emotional scenes as he was unable to control his emotions. Then, Speed also released a post in which he thanked Ronaldo for everything and bid adieu to the football sensation and his world cup dreams forever. He said, “Goodbye Ronaldo, love you forever.”
