The Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi debate is the biggest debate in sports right now. With both superstars playing well in the 2026 World Cup, many are taking sides on who is the best of all time. If anyone is familiar with IShowSpeed, you know that he is one of the biggest Ronaldo fans in the world.
The 2026 World Cup is bringing everything. The vibes are truly high with fans from all over the world here enjoying the biggest tournament on the planet. IShowSpeed travels around the globe a ton and has experienced many different cultures. On Thursday, he joined the Pat McAfee Show for a little bit to talk about the World Cup. Speed talked about how he has enjoyed every day of the games by talking, hanging out, and participating in many different cultural activities. It seems like he is at every big WC match as well, watching the USA and Portugal play.
McAfee couldn’t help but bring up the Ronaldo-Messi debate, while knowing which side Speed would take.

“I’m a Ronaldo fan,” Speed said. “Yes, Messi is good, that is why he is getting compared to Ronaldo. When it comes to skill and my own analytics, and when I watch a player play, I think Ronaldo is better.”
Ronaldo is aiming to win his first World Cup, something Messi accomplished for the first time four years ago. There is no doubt that Ronaldo has a ton of motivation to get it done before his career is over. This may be his last opportunity.
