England's bronze test
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.England were defeated 3-1 by Argentina in the semi-finals of the Junior World Cup in Hobart yesterday and now face Germany tomorrow for the bronze medal.
The Germans were narrowly beaten 3-2 by India, who will now appear in their second successive final, while Scotland, who overcame Canada 3-0, will play Ireland for the 13th and 14th spot.
England had gone behind to an 13th minute opportunist goal from Matias Paredes but equalised four minutes later with a fine drag-flick at a penalty corner from Richard Mantell. England goalkeeper Dave Carter pulled off a series of impressive second-half saves but Marcelo del Negro's solo effort and Alejandro Pasquali's late strike secured victory.
Jon Royce, Britain's women's chief coach at the Sydney Olympics, was yesterday appointed director of coaching at Surbiton.
