   The Ten21 Podcast: Bateson87: The Truth About FIFA, Pack Addiction, and Weight Loss.

   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. Topics: FIFA, EA Sports FC, FUT, Ultimate Team, FIFA pack opening, FIFA coin sponsors, weight loss, content creator burnout, KSI, NepentheZ, Sidemen, Twitch streaming, YouTube gaming, World Cup 2026, England football, FIFA 17, FUT Champions, gaming addiction.

    American Futbol: Tab Ramos and the Rebirth of U.S. Soccer

    When Tab Ramos immigrated from Uruguay as a child, he had no idea he’d play a role in the rebirth of U.S. soccer. “I remember telling my father at the time: dad, out of all the countries in the world that we could move to, why do we have to move to the one that doesn't have soccer?” Tab said. But Tab would grow to become one of the best U.S. soccer players of the 1990s. We hear about his devastating losses, his hard-fought wins, and a cracked skull that nearly ended his career and his life.
