During FIFA World Cup 2026 coverage, streamer IShowSpeed was jokingly removed from the FOX Sports set by Zlatan Ibrahimović after predicting a win for Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal. The incident, captured on camera, elicited a visibly surprised reaction from Thierry Henry, quickly becoming a popular internet meme. Despite being “kicked off,” IShowSpeed maintained his support for Ronaldo’s team. The streamer gained further attention during the tournament through an interview with FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The interaction was lighthearted and intended as a playful moment, contributing to the streamer’s growing online presence. The incident highlights the increasing intersection of traditional sports broadcasting and online personalities.
