Zlatan Ibrahimovic quickly disagreed with IShowSpeed’s World Cup prediction, dismissing the streamer’s opinion right away.
IShowSpeed has been a frequent presence at World Cup 2026 events. He’s had the chance to meet several former soccer stars, like Thierry Henry of France and Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Sweden. Both Henry and Ibrahimovic contributed to Fox Sports’ broadcast of the USA versus Paraguay match.
Speed, who was live streaming as he joined the others, greeted them with a handshake. They immediately started playfully teasing his outfit—a USA jersey with Nigeria shorts. Coincidentally, Paraguay scored a goal right then, and they joked that Speed’s clothes were bringing bad luck.
Ibrahimovic’s deadpan humor was on display
Later on, they asked me who I thought would win the whole tournament. Being a huge Cristiano Ronaldo fan, I immediately said Portugal – I’m predicting his home country will take it all!
Henry looked immediately disappointed as Ibrahimovic quickly grabbed the microphone from Speed and gently pushed him aside. Speed insisted he was correct, but Ibrahimovic dismissed his point with a wave of his hand.
Zlatan Ibrahimović had a strong reaction on FOX Sports when someone predicted Portugal would win the World Cup, seemingly dismissing them immediately. Viewers noticed that both Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimović appeared unhappy with anyone expressing support for Cristiano Ronaldo.

While it seemed like both Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were playfully teasing Cristiano Ronaldo, they both have a long-standing competitive history with him. Henry and Ronaldo were rivals during their time with Arsenal/Barcelona and Manchester United/Real Madrid, respectively, competing against each other in both England and Spain. Ibrahimovic, meanwhile, will likely remember their intense 2013 World Cup qualifying match where Sweden and Portugal battled for a spot in the tournament, with both players determined to win.
Ronaldo’s Portugal won out that day, and Speed will be hoping they can win it all this year.
