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.Goal celebrations at the World Cup can live longer in the memory than the goals themselves.
Marco Tardelli's passionate shirt grabbing in the 1982 final, Roger Milla's jigging throughout the 1990 tournament and the Bebeto led 'new-born baby' celebrations in 1994 are now iconic.
We're yet to see the infamous 'muted celebration' at the World Cup, where a player refuses to celebrate in respect of a former club or for another reason. This is more of a rarity at international level as there are only a handful of players - like Diego Costa, for example - who has dual nationality.
Goals have been flying in at a vast rate during the latest instalment of the World Cup - with 77 coming in 26 games so far - and there have been some spectacular goals scored.
But here, we take a look at the best celebrations so far.
