What to know

  • IShowSpeed’s flight to Toronto was cancelled less than five hours before the Portugal-Croatia kickoff.
  • IShowSpeed managed to get a second flight, which also got cancelled.
  • He posted on X asking fans for help getting him to the match and to see Ronaldo in person.
  • Social media users responded with jokes, memes, and a mix of genuine offers and trolling.
  • Speed now claims he might have found a private jet to make it in time.

American streamer IShowSpeed’s can no longer attend Ronaldo’s Portugal-Croatia match after both flights to Toronto got cancelled just hours before the game. 

The internet personality also known as Speed has been an avid fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and FIFA, to the point that he’s even made a song called “World Cup.”

The creator was supposed to fly from San Francisco to Toronto to watch the Portugal-Croatia match at Toronto Stadium on Thursday and catch his favourite soccer player in action, but the flight was cancelled less than five hours before kick-off.

So, he took his issue to X, asking the public for help with a jet or a plane. ​

“i need to get to toronto my plane got cancelled and now i can’t see ronaldo play this is so bad please helpppppoppp” his caption partially reads.

But commenters are trolling the content creator.

“Just wait for him at the airport, he will be going home tonight,” one X user wrote.

“I thought you’re called speed, can’t you just run that short distance?” another laughed, adding a GIF of The Flash.

Another asked, “Is it not possible to rent a private jet on short notice?”

“Just send him a DM, he will use his private jet to pick you up,” another suggested.

But Speed replied to a comment two hours ago, saying he might have found a jet.

“Yes bro some bullsh*t i’m figuring it out right now i think i have a jet tho hopefully,” he wrote.

An hour ago, IShowSpeed posted a story on Instagram, saying his second flight got cancelled because the plane’s windshield is cracked, so he lost all hopes to making it to the game.
