iShowSpeed 1v1s Eberechi Eze on EA Sports FC — Here Are the Highlights
IRL YouTuber Darren “iShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. has become known for his entertaining games of EA Sports FC, pitting himself against professional footballers, and this time it was the turn of Arsenal and England forward Eberechi Eze to compete on a stream.
Speed’s love for FIFA
and football is known by everyone, and the YouTuber may only love one thing more than playing the game: watching Cristiano Ronaldo play. The IRL streamer recently played EA Sports FC 27 with PSG footballer Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, losing to the players. iShowSpeed has now completed a challenge against Eberechi Eze — and here are the most memorable moments of the stream.
iShowSpeed defeats Eberechi Eze, plans another match with Cole Palmer
The pair competed on PlayStation 5 and the main highlight of the match may have been Eze picking PSG over his own team, Arsenal. This was funny given that the French champions beat the Gunners in last year’s Champions League final, and the moment was made more memorable when Speed questioned the selection.
Eze replied that he’d die for his team, but isn’t sure about FIFA. It also wasn’t a surprise that Eberechi Eze scored the opening goal, but iShowSpeed’s over-the-top reaction was worth watching, especially when Eze scored another goal, taking a 2-0 lead. Another fun moment was when Eze celebrated after PSG goalkeeper Safonov saved a shot. Eze said, “That’s my goalkeeper,” and Speed shot back, “That’s not even your goalkeeper!”.
The chemistry between the duo was captivating, but the first match ended 6-1, with Speed getting agitated after losing, but
the other two matches finished with the YouTuber coming out on top with 5-2 and 5-4.
Eze had switched to Arsenal for the second match, but that didn’t help him continue his winning streak. However, the final and decider game was more neck-and-neck, as Speed initially had a 4-1 lead, but Eze scored thrice to level the score. Eze ultimately lost and had to perform a celebration. The Arsenal player ultimately did
Cristiano Ronaldo’s
iconic Siu celebration and Speed’s bark to signify his loss.
Speed’s brother Jamal was also around during the stream, which added a comedic element, as he and Eze laughed around while iShowSpeed had “quit” after his first loss. The YouTuber also heard a female voice in Eze’s room and questioned who was there; the Arsenal star responded that it was his wife.
Eberechi Eze and Speed agreed to a 60-meter sprint race the next time the YouTuber visits London. This gives fans something to wait for, as Speed is known for his athletic feats and was also recently seen with Usain Bolt,
reportedly for his Speed Goes Pro Season 2. However, that’s not all, as Speed has scheduled another livestream, and this time he will be competing against Cole Palmer, another Premier League star and England international.
