Considering the daring challenges he takes on every other day, IShowSpeed is not someone who is easily impressed. Having said that, Speed was recently left speechless by the Canadian Premier League‘s footballers, who braved a snowstorm to keep playing the game. The Canadian way of playing soccer earned another fan in the popular streamer. Speed couldn’t stop gushing about the spectacular “bicycle kick” goal by David Rodriquez in the midst of a blizzard.
IShowSpeed visibly amazed by Canadian League’s snow football
IShowSpeed was at a loss for words after witnessing the thrilling match between Atlético Ottawa and Cavalry FC. Speed’s respect and awe for the Canadian players knew no bounds as they battled ankle-deep snow and shovelled the pitch to keep the game going despite a snowstorm. David Rodriguez scored a stunning “icicle kick” goal, securing Atletico Ottawa’s 2-1 win in extra time. It was a truly unforgettable match for the players and fans (that now includes IShowSpeed) alike.
Speed’s reaction to Rodriguez’s goal, labeled “the most incredible goal in CPL history,” has gone viral on X. The post captioned, “THEY PLAYING LIKE THAT IN CANADA!” features a dumbfounded Speed saying, ” What the hell is they playing on? It’s like snowing!” before adding, “How can you play football like this?”
What followed next is the bicycle kick that had the YouTuber saying, “In the snow!!!?”. After learning that it’s the Canadian league, a bewildered Speed said, “They playing like that in Canada?!”
Speed’s reaction to the ‘Icicyle Kick’ triggered humorous replies from fans on social media.
The top comment came from none other than the Canadian Premier League itself. “THIS IS CANADIAN SOCCER. The 2025 #CanPL FINAL reached 786 MILLION people as fans, social media & news organizations across 173 countries witnessed & shared our snowy season finale. Now… let’s get David Rodríguez’s Icicle Kick the Puskás, shall we?”, the comment said
“Even the world can’t deny it, Canada is the biggest nation for soccer/football in the Americas!”, another comment from what seemed like a Canadian read.
