This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

After 13 days, 36 matches, 69 goals and a lot of confused mathematics, we are now ready for the knockout stages of Euro 2016.

Eight countries are on their way home as the European Championship prepares for it's first ever round of sixteen in this year's expanded format.

A quarter of the 16 remaining countries are made up of British and Irish representatives - the Republic of Ireland memorably making it a full house courtesy of Shane Long's late winner against Italy on Wednesday night.

Martin O'Neill's side will take on hosts France on Sunday, looking for revenge for their controversial play-off defeat ahead of the 2010 World Cup, while Wales, in their first tournament in 58 years, will face near-neighbours Northern Ireland this Saturday after topping their group.

England, runners-up to Wales, will face Iceland after an astonishing finish to Group F earlier on Wednesday.

But who else has made it through, where do they play - and when?
