Someone thought it was a good idea to gift a Messi jersey to the biggest Cristiano Ronaldo fan on the planet. 🤦 On June 22, during the Argentina vs. Austria match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, former soccer player and reporter Melissa Ortiz tossed him an Albiceleste jersey with Messi’s name on it from a suite. IShowSpeed looked at it, gave a slow thumbs-down… and let it drop to the ground. Without picking it up. Without hesitating. 😂
As if the moment wasn’t epic enough, earlier in the same match Speed had done a celebratory flip when Messi missed a penalty in the 9th minute. Spoiler: Messi still scored two goals and became the all-time top World Cup scorer. 🐐
The clip blew up on social media alongside a false rumor claiming that the jersey had been sent by Antonela Roccuzzo, Messi’s wife. Ortiz herself came out to deny it with humor. The confusion was unintentional; Speed’s rejection was totally deliberate. 👎🔥
