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.

KEVIN KEEGAN last night insisted that England could still qualify for next year's European Championship finals.

"The opportunity to qualify is still there," Keegan said. "But we have to go to Poland and win. It leaves it alive for us, that's for sure."

Keegan added: "I suppose the biggest disappointment for me was that, when Bulgaria went down to 10 men, we just couldn't find any invention to open them up.

"You have to expect more than we got tonight. But it certainly wasn't due to a lack of effort. Our passing just has to get better and that's a confidence thing and that will come back The invention has to come as well otherwise we are going to struggle to beat teams.

"There were a few players who didn't do themselves justice and others who had spells where they played well but never sustained it for 90 minutes."
