Streamer Speed Erupts After Argentine Fan Shows Him Picture of Crying Cristiano Ronaldo

American streamer Darren Jason Watkins Jr., widely known as Speed, reacted with fury when an Argentine supporter taunted him with an image of Cristiano Ronaldo in tears outside the AT&T Stadium in Dallas. The confrontation happened after Portugal's elimination from the 2026 World Cup following a 1-0 defeat to Spain.

Speed, a self-proclaimed ardent fan of the Portuguese captain, was visibly upset by the loss. As he left the stadium, accompanied by his security detail, he was mobbed by fans. While some sought photos, others taunted him about the match, mentioning Lionel Messi and criticizing Ronaldo.

The situation escalated when a young man wearing an Argentina jersey held up a picture of a crying Ronaldo, missing a tooth, against Speed's car window. Speed shouted for the image to be removed and punched the glass. He then lowered the window, snatched the photo, tore it, and instructed his cameraman to end the live stream using a coded phrase.

Speed has consistently expressed his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he considers the greatest footballer of all time. However, he has also acknowledged Messi's greatness and has attended Inter Miami games, showing support for both players and Argentina at different times.
