Cole Palmer puts PSG before iShowSpeed's FIFA challenge
A FaceTime call on Speedy Boykins takes in a lamb wrap, difficult footballer names and a time-zone calculation that needs help.

iShowSpeed FaceTimes Cole Palmer 👀😂 (FIFA 1V1)
Cole Palmer has a condition before accepting iShowSpeed's FIFA challenge: he wants to finish watching the football first.
"Let me watch this PSG game, and then I'll play you after that," he tells Speed during their FaceTime call. The livestream excerpt, posted on Speedy Boykins, has drawn about 34,000 views in six hours, already well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for a Short.
This is the negotiation, not the match. Palmer checks whether Speed plays FIFA seriously, while Speed offers his previous footballer opponents as evidence. But the conversation keeps wandering away from his credentials: Palmer shows the lamb wrap he's eating, and Speed struggles repeatedly with Kvaratskhelia's name.
"The way you're saying his name, mad accents," Palmer says, laughing. Viewers are picking up on the name mix-ups, while others joke about Speed's expanding collection of football contacts. The food gets its own small thread, with a reference to Palmer's familiar association with "chippy chips."
They settle on a late-evening UK appointment. Working out what that means for Speed proves less straightforward: after hanging up, he turns to his chat to ask whether he should play today or tomorrow, while an off-screen companion corrects his time math.
