It's been a difficult year. We had to make some pretty drastic changes to stay afloat, and our output hasn't really recovered - that's on us. We'll share more, and hold a proper subscription drive, v soon. For now, if you like what you've read here, new readers - free and paid - help a ton! 🫶🏼

Thanks so much for the amazing response to Cata's debut! For those who aren't aware - we've not done a great job introducing ourselves on Bluesky - SCOUTED is an indie and reader-funded magazine on the players, people and ideas changing football's future.

Whether you care about Sullivan or not, THIS is what football writing should be

thanks for catching that!

Cata is always must-read, but this is especially stellar work – not only on what makes Cavan Sullivan special, but dissecting the many factors which make it increasingly tricky to manage expectations around a top American soccer prospect. The definitive piece on the topic. An instant Cata classic.

Thanks, Alex! Means a lot

thank you 🙏
