QUOTES OF THE WEEK
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.Before the competition, everyone was laughing about England and their style. They will not be laughing now. Dennis Bergkamp, Arsenal striker and a member of the Dutch team beaten 4-1 by England at Euro 96.
I've never lost faith in my ability, even though some people appeared to do so - England's four-goal striker Alan Shearer.
The best players were those who sat on the bench because the ones on the field all looked as weak as each other. Some players looked bad - some looked very bad. Russia's coach, Oleg Romantsev.
I was nervous because of the match and because I have spent five years putting up with criticism. Javier Clemente, the Spanish coach, explains why he almost came to blows with a Spanish radio reporter.
If I could turn back the clock three years I would not have taken the job. Ray Illingworth, England's chairman of selectors, after being fined pounds 2,000 by the Test and County Cricket Board for a newspaper serialisation of his book.
One thing I do know is that if I sit at home in my armchair, I will be wittering and worrying and I won't live 12 months. Umpire Dickie Bird before taking charge of his 66th and final Test match at Lord's.
