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.The Portugal coach, Paulo Bento (left), is confident his team will beat Bosnia in Lisbon tonight and qualify for Euro 2012. The teams drew 0-0 on Friday.
"It will be very tight," said Bento, "but we're convinced we'll go on and take control of the match. At the end of these 90 minutes we will be a happy team and, more importantly, a happy country."
Two years ago Portugal beat Bosnia in a play-off to reach the World Cup, and the visitors' striker Vedad Ibisevic is desperate to avenge that to send Bosnia to their first big tournament since independence. "The time has come for this generation to go to a major competition," he said.
Sasa Papac and Boris Pandza are both available after suspension for the draw at the Bilino Polje. Midfielder Sejad Salihovic may replace Haris Medunjanin.
