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.England continued in fine form in the Women's Junior World Cup in the Olympic Stadium in Seongnam, South Korea, with a workmanlike 4-0 win against Canada following up their 6-0 victory against Spain on the opening day, writes Bill Colwill.
England were kept waiting for their opening goal by a brilliant display of goalkeeping by Ann Maroda until the half hour, when the substitute Kerry Moore opened the door. Three minutes later her Olton colleague, Jennie Bimson, gave England a 2-0 interval lead.
Goals from Melanie Clewlow and Sally Wright inside 15 minutes of the restart saw England coasting. Afterwards, when the coach, Gavin Featherstone, said: "The real tests lie ahead", he was referring to England's games tomorrow against Australia and on Monday against Germany.
ENGLAND: K Roberts (Blueharts); S Wright (Olton), C Gilbert (Hightown), L Wooding (Chelmsford), R Walker, J Bimson (both Olton), F Greenham (Loughborough Students, capt), I Palmer (Colwall), P Miller (Leicester), L Wright (Olton) M Clewlow (Canterbury). Substitutes used: N Westcar (Chelmsford), L Hunter (Chelmsford), K Moore (Olton), K Walsh (Hightown), L Turney (Leicester).
