'Speed' derives from the Old English 'spēd,' which referred to good fortune/success.
This sense of 'speed' lives on in 'Godspeed':
"God spede you" = "God prosper you"
We hope this brings you up to speed.
I see why Premier league fans could not stop talking about Lamine Yamal and Michael Olise during the international break.
They watch Saka and Madueke week in week out😭😭😭
