Ronaldo Jr. comments on rising football stars during livestream
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. sparked discussion online after a recent Twitch stream with content creator 2xRaKai, where he named his father, Cristiano Ronaldo, as his favorite footballer of all time. When asked whether Barcelona and Spain's teenage star Lamine Yamal might eventually surpass his father, Ronaldo Jr. replied, 'He hasn't won anything yet.' The comment quickly drew attention across social media platforms, as Yamal was part of the Spanish national team that won the UEFA Euro 2024 title. At 17, he became the youngest-ever goalscorer in Euro history and played a key role in Spain's tournament victory. Cristiano Ronaldo Sr., now 40, is preparing to represent Portugal in what would be his sixth FIFA World Cup appearance in 2026, a feat no male footballer has achieved before. He previously played in the 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 editions. While Ronaldo Jr.'s statement appeared more supportive than dismissive, it unintentionally overlooked Yamal's recent major international win. The moment has reignited ongoing comparisons between football's most established icons and its emerging stars, a common theme as a new generation of talent rises. Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lamine Yamal continue to draw global attention, one as a veteran preparing for a final tournament, the other as a teenager already achieving major milestones.

Ishowspeed falls for CZN Burak's prank in Turkey
IShowSpeed has become the centre of online discussion after being pranked by a Turkish waiter during his European tour. The streamer, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr., was visiting Turkey when he experienced the popular local 'spilling prank' often performed on tourists. The prank involves a server pretending to spill hot tea or food on a customer, causing panic, only for the customer to realise that the bowls and cups are either empty or attached to the tray. During his visit, IShowSpeed was approached by a waiter holding two steaming kettles. The server then pretended to drop one of the kettles on Speed, prompting him to jump out of his seat in alarm. Realising the kettles were empty, Speed appeared frustrated and shouted at the waiter to 'stop f*cking playing' while others at the scene laughed, including the server and surrounding customers. The moment was captured on video and quickly circulated across social media platforms. 🚨| WATCH: Burak just pulled the BIGGEST JOKE on Speed 😭😭😭🇹🇷 Burak, Speed'e şimdiye kadarki EN BÜYÜK ŞAKAYI yaptı 😭😭😭🇹🇷 — Speedy HQ (@IShowSpeedHQ) July 13, 2025 Reactions to the incident were mixed. Some viewers criticised Speed's reaction, labelling it as exaggerated, with one user stating, 'It's sad how people like Speed make themselves like clowns for a few clicks.' Others focused on his quick reflexes, commenting, 'Now I know why he's called Speed,' and 'That is totally cool to see iSpeed's speed.' The prank took place during IShowSpeed's Europe Tour Part 2, which began on July 7 and will include stops in several countries such as Bosnia, Estonia, Poland, and Turkey. The tour also marks Speed's return to Twitch after years away from the platform, with live broadcasts available on both Twitch and YouTube for viewers to follow his travels.
