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.Australia's women's football team provided the upset of the World Cup so far when they knocked out Brazil in the round of 16.
Kyah Simon scored the only goal of the game for the Matildas, who will face the winner of the game between Japan and the Netherlands.
Simon, 23, pounced at the far post to slot home the only goal of the game.
The 1-0 defeat means that Brazil captain Marta, one of the best players to ever play, will again have to wait for another chance to win the women's World Cup.
The 29-year-old has been named World Player of the Year five times, and has been in the top three of the award every year since 2004
