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.

TOMAS BROLIN, the Swedish footballer whose goal wrote off England in the European Championships this summer, picked up two typically opportunist goals in a 4-0 win against Morocco.

Brolin had looked jaded in the opening 0-0 draw against Paraguay, but the striker bounced back to his best to score the first and fourth goals and leave the Swedes well placed to qualify for the quarter-finals from Group C.

Two of the tournament favourites, Ghana and Denmark, met in Group D, and, thanks some heroism from Niels Jorgensen, Denmark's goalkeeper, the result was 0-0, which leaves both sides well placed to qualify.
