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.

In an historic ruling, goal-line technology has been approved and could be implemented as soon as the new year.

The decision by the International FA Board will mean that no longer will teams escape/be denied (depending upon which side you're on) when the ball crosses the line.

In light of this, we take a look at some famous 'goals' the referee failed to spot, and speculate as to what would have transpired with the benefit of goal-line technology.
