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.

A keeper with no histrionics, defenders who can defend and forwards who are clever running off the ball.

In what has been one of the most memorable World Cup's in recent memory - for right and wrong reasons - a number of players have stood out and shone on the international stage.

As expected, finalists Germany and Argentina have a number of players in the best XI, ahead of their showdown on Sunday to decide who will win the 2014 World Cup.

So who has made my best XI of the tournament?
