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.

Fabio Capello must have thought it was 2010 all over again when he saw his goalkeeper give away a shocking goal.

Igor Akinfeev fumbled Lee Keun-ho's speculative shot into his own net to give South Korea the lead after 68 minutes.

Thankfully for the former England manager, who may have had memories of Rob Green's gaffe against the USA in South Africa, he saw his team draw level just a few minutes later when Aleksandr Kerzhakov scored after coming off the bench.

Who do you think was the stand out performer? Let us know in the comments below.
