Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

TEAMS ALREADY QUALIFIED FOR EURO 2000 FINALS

Belgium and the Netherlands (as co-hosts), Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Yugoslavia.

PLAY-OFFS

Four teams will progress via the play-offs - the winners from the two- legged ties between Scotland and England, Israel and Denmark, Slovenia and Ukraine, Republic of Ireland and Turkey.

AWAY GOALS

In the event of an aggregate draw after both legs, away goals will count double in the play-offs. If the scores are level after both games and no team has an away-goal advantage, extra time will be played after the second leg. Should the tie still not have been decided by this point, the outcome will be determined with penalties.

Draw date for next year's finals: Sunday 12 December.
