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.Q. Some Italian football clubs in Serie A sport roundels on their shirts. What is the thinking behind this?
A. The green, white and red roundel is worn on the shirt of the current Italian Cup holder, which is Fiorentina this year. The present League Champions, Juventus, wear a shield in the same colours. There are also the "stars", awarded for winning at least 10 consecutive League championships: Juventus wear two, Milan and Internazionale one. If this applied in Scotland, Rangers would have a galaxy on their shirts. - Ted Manzocchi, Milan
Q. Why do many evening football matches now kick off at 7.45?
A. There are two reasons: first, to enable the away team and their supporters extra time to arrive in case they get caught up in road works or traffic. Second, to enable the home supporters to either come straight from work or go home for a meal first. - John Adler, Manchester
