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.

Ecuador, who have scored five times without reply in the tournament, look overpriced at 7-4 with all firms to top Group A ahead of Germany. Goal difference means Ecuador need only a draw to finish ahead of the Germans, who are 2-5.

Today, Serbia attract at 5-1 to get a vital win against Argentina in the closely matched Group C. Hernan Crespo is favourite with Ladbrokes to bag most goals of today's attackers with Chelsea connections. Arjen Robben is 5-2, Didier Drogba 7-2 and former Chelsea player Mateja Kezman 8-1.

They have Ruud van Nistelrooy at 9-4 to score more than Didier Drogba today. Drogba is 4-1 and the tie 8-13.
