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.DIEGO MARADONA, who came into the tournament without a club, said yesterday that he had received three offers as a result of his form in Argentina's opening games, writes Phil Shaw.
He named the interested parties as Napoli, whom he helped to the Italian championship before receiving a 15-month ban for drug infractions; Boca Juniors, the Buenos Aires team where he began his career; and the Bolivian club, Bolivar.
Maradona, who received a facial injury during Saturday's 2-1 victory over Nigeria, will set a record for appearances in the finals as and when he next appears. He is currently level on 21 with Uwe Seeler (West Germany) and Wladislaw Zmuda (Poland).
Maradona was critical of the Nigerians' crude tackling during Saturday's game. 'I'm unhappy by the way the Nigerians hit us,' he said. 'It was like going out to fight with Mike Tyson, that's the only way to describe it.'
