Popular streamer Darren aka IShowSpeed’s tour of Europe continues to be eventful. In the latest instance, the YouTuber was jokingly offered the chance to coach a Norwegian soccer team!

Speed has been traveling around the continent for the UEFA Euro 2024, starting with Germany. He covered several countries, including Portugal, Poland, Hungary, Sweden, Italy, Slovenia, and Switzerland. The streamer met with his huge fan base in all the countries, and there have been several interesting interactions.

In his most recent stream, Speed was seen meeting a soccer team in Norway. Surrounded by the players, Speed asked:

“Let me get this straight. So if I win against him in a race, I get a contract?”

After confirmation from everyone around, he announced:

“Bet, bet. This is going to be easy. This is going to be the easiest Norwegian contract in history!”

In a surprising twist, the streamer easily defeated the professional athlete, to thundering applause from those surrounding him. IShowSpeed then came running back, screaming:

“Give my contract, give my contract!”

He also claimed that he didn't even run to his full potential. IShowSpeed, who is an ardent soccer fan, went on to say:

“That was easy peasy, lemon squeezy buddy”

However, the coach then hit him with:

“Can you do another?”

Hearing this, the streamer’s face looked concerned.

Several fans of IShowSpeed were impressed by his performance and many also said that making him the coach would bring a lot of publicity for the football team.


IShowSpeed also had a terrible experience in Norway

While meeting the soccer team was a pretty wholesome interaction, the streamer has also been hit with a lot of harassment while in Norway.

One of the most viral videos from his tour of Europe also took place in the Scandinavian country. Speed was streaming, stuck in a store in Oslo due to fans crowing outside. Shockingly, despite the security trying to control the situation, several fans got physical, pulling the streamer’s clothes and trying to touch his hair. One even tried to break the glass door.

As a result, Speed was severely injured and eventually had to be carried by his bodyguard to his car. Despite the above experience, the streamer appears to be in good spirits, and the rest of the trip will hopefully go unscathed.
