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.They may only be playing on muddy parks, but Belgian Sunday league team VK Linden can perhaps boast to have the smartest kits in world football.
Belgian cartoonist Jeroom Snelders designed the new kit after one of the team's coaches, Maarten De Cuyper, realised he worked in the same building as Humo magazine, where the famed cartoonist is currently employed.
A couple of emails later and the kit, which looks like something straight from a 1950s B-movie, became a reality.
Belgian newspaper Het Lastste Nieuws, who first broke the story, reported that the side were supposed to wear their new kits on Sunday - but opponents Kortenaken did not show, giving VK Linden a 5-0 win by default.
