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.

Euro 2012 is proving to be a tournament to remember. Among the consistently high-quality matches there have been surprises, great goals and fine individual performances.

With the group stage now over and the quarter-finals due to begin tomorrow, we take a look at the highs and lows of the tournament so far.

We chart the best players, the best matches, the team of the group stage, the moments to remember and the talking points away from the action.
