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.

American Samoa, officially the worst team in Fifa's world rankings, recently beat Tonga to record their first victory in 17 years.

It was a victory that brought an end to a run of 30 defeats, one of which was a world record 31-0 drubbing at the hands of Australia.

But are American Somoa the worst team in sport? We take a look at some of the contenders for the title, past and present.
