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.ENGLAND WERE a disgrace. They were clueless, hopeless and gormless. It's hard to imagine how Hoddle can continue as coach after failing to inspire his side.

GLENN HODDLE has demanded to be judged by nothing other than results. OK, then, Glenn. You might describe a goalless home draw against Bulgaria as disappointing, but let's get it right. It is a dreadful result. Absolutely awful. The time has come for Hoddle to be honest with the country by acting before it's too late. Resign. If not, then he should be sacked.

GLENN HODDLE, who has spoken much of late about the "baggage" surrounding his role, may have to give serious consideration to packing his own following an abject performance before an all-ticket packed house which arrived anticipating substantially more, and departed deserving far better.

IT IS almost superfluous to add that this is not the appropriate time for Hoddle to be negotiating a pay rise under the terms of his contract. Rather it is a time to ask if he should be the national coach at all. Even those of us who have always supported him must concede that the argument has become thinner since the World Cup.

NO AMOUNT of muted praise for the opposition could obscure the scale of England's failure. Their performance was so pathetically devoid of imagination and of telling penetration, that it is surely time to confront the evidence that they are much less formidable than the man in charge of them would have us believe.
Hugh McIlvanney
The Sunday Times
GLENN HODDLE'S credibility as the man to guide England to European Championship glory is in danger of total collapse this week. A dreary goalless draw against unrated Bulgaria at Wembley yesterday provoked howls of derision.
