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.

THEIR reputation as possible World Cup winners dented by Saturday's loss to Romania, Colombia are planning changes in tactics and personnel for today's Group A encounter with the United States in Pasadena. The Bayern Munich forward, Adolfo Valencia, has been replaced by Anthony De Avila, of America Cali. The host nation will probably be without Claudio Reyna, who has a hamstring injury.

Romania are likely to be unchanged against Switzerland at the Pontiac Silverdome today. Adrian Knup, who has scored 21 times in 31 internationals, will play up front for the Swiss, after missing the opening draw against the States with an ankle injury.
