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.After scoring a sublime curling free-kick to send Ghana on their way to a 2-0 win over Mali in Gabon on Saturday, Asamoah Gyan bluntly reminded everyone how good he thinks he is.
"Everybody who plays against Ghana comes at us strong," said the former Sunderland striker. "Everybody playing against Ghana will be going against Asamoah Gyan. I've been the lone striker six years. Everybody knows. It's not my fault. This shows how great I am."
As well as referring to himself in the third person and telling reporters how great he was, Gyan called Ghana "my boys". He said: "We hope to make Ghana proud by winning each game."
