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.

After conceding a sixth-minute goal to Rodolfo Perez, England fought back with goals from Danny Hall and Cover to lead 2-1 at the interval. Two goals from Rogrigo Vila and a third from Matias Vila inside the opening 14 minutes of the second half shot Argentina to a commanding 4-2 lead. Only two late penalty-corner conversions from substitute Calum Giles saved the day for the visitors.
