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.THE German manager, Berti Vogts, refused to reveal yesterday whether Jurgen Klinsmann would start today's friendly against Brazil in Stuttgart.
Vogts, who has three strikers at his disposal in Klinsmann, Oliver Bierhoff and Ulf Kirsten, declined to name the two who would start, but said: "All three will come on."
Germany have played Brazil, the World Cup holders, 15 times, winning three matches, drawing four and losing eight. The two teams have never met at the World Cup.
GERMANY (probable): A Koepke, O Thon, J Kohler, T Helmer/C Woerns, J Heinrich, D Hamann, J Nowotny, C Ziege, A Moeller, J Klinsmann/U Kirsten/O Bierhoff.
BRAZIL (probable): Taffarel, Junior Baiano, Aldair, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Cesar Sampaio, Dunga, Denilson, Rai, Ronaldo, Romario.
