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.France booked their spot in the semi-finals of the World Cup 2018 with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Uruguay.
Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane headed France into the lead shortly before half-time.
Antoine Griezmann then doubled France’s lead with a fortuitous shot from distance, which Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera palmed into his own net.
Uruguay missed Edinson Cavani and offered little going forward throughout. France will now play either Brazil or Belgium for a place in the World Cup final.
Check how we rated both teams in the gallery above.
