Darren “iShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. returned for another FIFA World Cup livestream, joined by his father, Darren Watkins Sr., and his brother, Jamal Watkins.

iShowSpeed’s latest FIFA World Cup livestream had everything from drama between him and his family to memorable interactive moments with fans. The streamer caught his brother sneaking in fries while dieting and was disappointed that his dad said Argentina would win the World Cup. Here’s everything iShowSpeed did during the Sweden vs Netherlands FIFA World Cup 2026 match.

Speed’s decision to bring his family to his latest World Cup broadcast was a memorable twist, but fans were in for an interesting twist. The YouTuber’s dad was supporting Sweden, while his brother was backing the Netherlands. This gave iShowSpeed a great opportunity to stream both family members’ reactions to the ongoing match. Fox News even interviewed iShowSpeed and also pitted the YouTuber against his father in a guess-the-flag challenge. Speed got every single one right, winning the challenge, perhaps no surprise given his years of global travel.

The family angle may have been the best part about this current World Cup livestream, but iShowSpeed didn’t let that stop him from engaging with fans. He even met one of his youngest fans, and the young boy started crying after meeting the YouTuber. Speed also met football legend Wesley Sneijder, which helped him continue his usual streaming format. The IRL streamer also did the traditional Dutch dance. However, the best part of the stream may have been the creator’s reaction to the Netherlands continuing to score against Sweden, setting a score of 4-0.

The first goal by Sweden was celebrated by iShowSpeed and his dad, but both were left in disbelief when it was ruled out. This is why it was surprising when Sweden finally scored because the team was losing badly, and Speed reacted by hugging his dad, who was supporting the team. iShowSpeed was even more excited that it was Anthony Elanga who scored the goal. He explained that Elanga was the first footballer he met in 2022 when the forward played for Manchester United. iShowSpeed was also part of a dap-up challenge with his dad and brother, and Jamal was the only one to get it perfect.

Netherlands eventually scored another goal against Sweden, winning 5-1. This gave iShowSpeed the perfect opportunity to troll Swedish content creator Marlon “Mar3lg” Lundgren Garcia. This wasn’t the only wholesome moment of the match, and viewers particularly loved it when Speed asked his security to back off after a fan approached the streamer for a hug.

iShowSpeed will continue streaming the World Cup after signing a deal with FIFA, Fox, and YouTube. This is why he told viewers that they can easily watch the matches on his YouTube channel. This partnership has fans speculating that iShowSpeed’s popularity may boost FIFA’s watch time even more, and this is on top of his recent World Cup song release.
