Speed confirms retirement after 'worst miss ever' in Qatar charity game

YouTuber iShowSpeed was confronted by Roberto Carlos after his first half display in the Match For Hope charity game.

A broken iShowSpeed announced his retirement from football after his performance in a charity game on Friday night.

Speed was selected for the Match For Hope featuring a slew of legendary footballers and content creators.

Playing under the tutelage of Arsene Wenger, who he tried to give tactical advice to pre-match, the Cristiano Ronaldo superfan caused utter chaos in his third charity football fixture when he was brought on as a substitute.

He produced a brutal tackle from behind on 2007 Ballon d'Or winner Kaka and was lucky to receive a yellow card for the challenge.

Speed also missed an open net after being played through by Eden Hazard in an eventful first half.


Then, when the teams went to the dressing room, Brazil icon and free-kick king Roberto Carlos wanted a few words and confronted Speed.

Speed apologised, leading to Carlos replying: "Sorry for what? Control and shoot!"


He complimented him on his pace, saying "You are very fast!" but Speed was downbeat and commented, "I'm sick of football man, I'm about to quit!".

The presenter tried to bring him back around and Speed did emerge for the second half at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.

Team Chunks ran out 7-5 winners but Speed wasn't in the best of spirits after the game and was adamant that he is done playing football.

"Sorry y'all. I apologise. I'm quitting football. That's it. I think I'm done with this football s**t."


He then proceeded to ask Didier Drogba if he is Paul Pogba's dad in a funny post-match moment.

Speed has become more and more interested in football in recent times, attending the Ballon d'Or ceremony and meeting a number of stars.

Having linked up with idol Cristiano, he also met the legendary Ronaldo Nazario and spent time at his house, even being gifted a signed Brazil shirt.

Although he has clearly improved, he is still waiting to score a goal and missed a penalty in the Sidemen FC charity clash last year.
