Andrés and Nicolás Cantor are both sports journalists. Andrés has been calling soccer matches for Telemundo Deportes for 26 years. Nico covers the sport on social media and for English-speaking audiences at CBS’s “The Golazo Show.”

In this episode, the father-and-son broadcasting duo sits down with Jorge and Paola to unpack the most ambitious World Cup in history: 48 teams, 104 matches, and three host countries. They discuss the tournament’s controversies, from ticket prices to concerns about ICE presence at stadiums, why they believe this World Cup will be a success, and how Andrés prepares for his iconic “goooooool.”

Tom Bogert and Tab Ramos give the full scouting report on Paraguay ahead of the USMNT's Group D opener on Friday night in Los Angeles. They break down Paraguay's strengths, the key players the U.S. must contain, and where Mauricio Pochettino's team can find success against one of the tournament's toughest defensive units.

Tab also takes listeners inside the preparation for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, sharing stories from the coaching staff's game-planning process ahead of the United States' opening match against Ghana and explaining why even the most detailed plans can be thrown into chaos once the whistle blows.

Plus, the guys wrap up the show with Tab's DraftKings predictions for all four opening matches of the tournament, including Mexico vs. South Africa, South Korea vs. Czechia, Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina and, of course, United States vs. Paraguay.

Castro sits down with Bateson87 (Jamie Bateson) — one of the founding fathers of FIFA Ultimate Team content and a 14-year veteran of the FIFA / EA FC creator scene — for one of the most candid conversations in TEN21 Podcast history.

Bateson opens up about his 110-pound weight loss journey, the Christmas Eve coughing fit that fractured three of his vertebrae, and why he's been so vocal against weight loss injections like Ozempic and Mounjaro. He shares the unfiltered story of the EA coin sponsor era — how he made tens of thousands of dollars per month, why EA publicly singled him out as the face of the crackdown, and how he rebuilt that relationship to keep his career intact.

The conversation moves into the dark side of FIFA Ultimate Team — the addiction of pack opening, who in the FIFA community actually spends six figures a year on FIFA points, and how the introduction of FUT Champions in FIFA 17 changed gaming culture forever. Bateson talks about the day he nearly walked away from content during a community boycott, what it's like being a parent now, and why he'd give up his YouTube channel before he'd give up his Twitch stream.

Castro and Bateson trade stories from a decade of friendship — the legendary KSI vs Bateson pink slip pack challenges, their Fall Guys world championship run during COVID, the infamous Vegas roulette machine incident, and being detained at the US border for wearing an NFL jersey one too many times.

The episode closes with 2026 FIFA World Cup predictions: Bateson's pick for the tournament winner, his England outlook under manager Thomas Tuchel, the dark horse pick, and an honest take on USA's chances at home — plus an emotional confession from Bateson about his Sunday night viewing habits during Castro's FUT Champions run.

A must-listen for FIFA content creators, EA Sports FC players, fans of Sidemen-era YouTube, and anyone who grew up on the FIFA Ultimate Team community.
