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 are on track to win Uefa's 'Fair Play' award for Euro 96. The beaten champions, Denmark, head the league table, based on bookings and sendings-off received, after 28 matches of the tournament. However, second-placed England, who meet Germany in the last four tomorrow at Wembley, could move into top spot.
Gary Neville, who is suspended from the semi-final, is only England's second player to miss a game - Paul Ince is expected to return after missing the defeat of Spain on Saturday because of two yellow cards. England won the award for good behaviour on the pitch at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.
FAIR-PLAY LEAGUE: 1 Denmark 8.19pts; 2 England 8.14; 3 Italy 8; 4 Netherlands 7.86; 5 Romania 7.81; 6 France 7.79; 7 Scotland 7.62; 8 Turkey 7.52; 9 Russia 7.43; 10 Portugal 7.43; 11 Croatia 7.36; 12 Germany 7.36; 13 Bulgaria 7.14; 14 Spain 7.07; 15 Czech Republic 6.86; 16 Switzerland 6.76.
