ABOUT THE SCOUT
The Tournament Scout is an entirely free,
ad-free independent guide to this summer’s football.
I'm Craig, a writer and former journalist / Guardian Top 100 football blogger. Back in the early 2000s at university, I wrote 3pm Boys, a football column that appeared alongside Sir Tom Finney and Mark Lawrenson.
I'm a lifelong obsessive of football (especially international tournaments), with a spreadsheet of obscure talent to die for.
Every piece you read on the website has been completely hand-written. I'll be focusing on emerging talent you might not have heard of, and will aim to give you the low-down on teams that have slipped under the radar.
I can't wait for 104 games of utterly bonkers football!
