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.

put England in the same group as Germany
Bild Zeitung
SORRY ENGLAND. We must beat you again unless we're cheated again. World Cup in 1970 (3-2 for us), European Championship (3-1 for us), World Cup 1990 (4-3 for us), European Championships 1996 (6-5 for us), World Cup 1966 (4-2 for you).
Suddeutsche Zeitung
THE PANZERS will be rolling again across English newspaper columns. Footballers will be urged to strike at the evil Krauts. English papers love writing about war when the subject at hand is football, especially when the Germans are involved. And now they are up against the Germans in the qualification for the 2002 World Cup, and Germany is a rival in staging the World Cup 2006. Will England offer a deal? Funny, isn't it? No. The football functionaries must strive for a friendly atmosphere, otherwise things can get dangerous. A heated atmosphere nurtures hooliganism and violence. For the hooligans, this is not about fun. They really are playing war.
Express
SORRY ENGLAND - you will cry again. For over 33 years Germany always has won the big matches.
