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.

IF THE Netherlands are confirm the pre-tournament whispers they must do it tonight with the Group E whipping boys, South Korea, providing the opposition.

Their goalless draw against Belgium was less than heartening as Marc Overmars confirmed many a prejudice in disappearing after being kicked a couple of times while Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink showed a lack of true international class so it's up to the returning Bergkamp to set the seeds on their way.

Buy the Dutch supremacy and take a look at South Korea's Performance numbers. They are unlikely to keep a clean sheet, or score, and with bookings seemingly inevitable they could end up with a negative number.

A buy on the total tournament goals for the Netherlands - Sporting quote 6.8-7.6 - may prove on the low side come 10pm.

Who isn't looking forward to Iran's collision with The Great Satan, a.k.a. the USA? Iran conceded 29 free-kicks against Yugoslavia yet managed not to receive a card of any colour. Fifa's instructions to referees are changing daily and that clean record could change dramatically tomorrow.
