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.Kaka was once the best player in the world. Kaka was once bought by Real Madrid for £56million. Kaka is now playing in the MLS in front of a crowd that would make some Sunday league team's blush.
The former Ballon d'Or winner has fallen a long way from his peak, but the Brazilian doesn't deserve this.
Still only 32, the Brazilian has opted to spend the rest of his career playing in the MLS for new franchise Orlando City.
Having been in his native Brazil for the last six months with hometown team Sao Paulo - where he hardly pulled up trees with two goals in 14 matches - Kaka made his debut for Orlando City in a friendly game against FC Dallas.
But while he was once helping AC Milan to win the Champions League, Kaka had to play his debut in a friendly for the reserves in front of what looks like less than 50 people.
The fallen maestro managed to score a penalty in the 4-0 win.
