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.Berti Vogts, Germany's coach, lines up some dummies prior to free- kick practice during training in Hanover this week. After the injuries that have afflicted his squad, Vogts might have to field some of them against Albania tonight...
Germany need just a draw against the Albanians, Group Nine's bottom team, to win the section and qualify for France. The European champions will be without Jurgen Klinsmann, Matthias Sammer, Ulf Kirsten, Lars Ricken, Christian Worns, Jens Nowotny, Sven Kmetsch and maybe Jorg Heinrich, so Vogts' side may well be experimental.
"We need just one point but, despite all our injury problems, I expect a clear victory," he said yesterday. "Anything less would not satisfy me."
Albania's coach, Astrit Hafizi, said: "It will be a very difficult match but we will do our best. We have gone through a time full of difficulties and problems which I hope will never happen again," he added in reference to the recent turmoil in his country.
