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.France, Portugal, Russia and Greece have been confirmed as the seeded teams for Monday's World Cup play-off draw.
The quartet, who all finished second in their respective European qualifying pools, earn their seeded status due to being the top four of the eight play-off teams in the latest FIFA world rankings.
The unseeded pot includes the other four best runners-up - Ukraine, Republic of Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia.
Raymond Domenech's France are the top-ranked play-off team in ninth, one ahead of Portugal who clinched second place in Group One on Wednesday. Carlos Queiroz's side have risen seven places in the rankings thanks to their positive end to the qualifying campaign.
Guus Hiddink's Russia, who finished second in Group Four behind Germany, slip six spots to 12th while 2004 European champions Greece lie 16th.
Ukraine, who spoiled England's perfect qualifying record with a 1-0 win in Dnipropetrovsk last Saturday, are the top-ranked unseeded team at 22nd with Giovanni Trapattoni's Republic 34th, Bosnia-Herzegovina 42nd and Slovenia 49th.
At the top of the FIFA world rankings issued today, Brazil have maintained a slender advantage over European champions Spain, Holland and world champions Italy - who topped Groups Five, Nine and Eight respectively.
Germany dropped one place to fifth while Argentina, who clinched their place in South Africa from the South American qualifying zone with a 1-0 win over Uruguay in Montevideo on Wednesday, climb two places to sixth.
Hosts South Africa (85th) and North Korea (91st) are the only teams from outside the top 50 who will be present at next year's event.
