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.Nigeria are keeping everyone guessing about plans for their Group B match with Greece today, training in seclusion on the Indian Ocean coast since their defeat by Argentina.
Both sides desperately need points from the match in Bloemfontein's Free State Stadium to keep alive their hopes of reaching the second round.
Nigeria have largely kept their own counsel at their camp at Richards Bay, north of Durban. Full-back Taye Taiwo recovered quickly from injury and resumed training on Sunday. Nigeria's Swedish coach Lars Lagerback will decide whether to stick with Chinedu Obasi on the right side of the attack, or go with the experienced Peter Odemwingie.
Greece are likely to add some muscle with centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos and defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos, who can provide a bigger obstacle for the powerful Nigerians.
