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.Nigel Worthington has given his players a history lesson in the hope they will not be embarrassed as he once was with Northern Ireland.
Worthington played at left-back when the Faroe Islands held Northern Ireland to a draw at Windsor Park in a European Championship qualifier, a match the home side had been expected to win comfortably. Tomorrow, 19 years on, Northern Ireland travel to Toftir with important points again at stake and once more clear favourites.
Worthington is anxious his side improve on their tally of four points following a win against Slovenia and a goalless draw with Italy, and will not let them take anything for granted. Reflecting on the drawn match in 1991, Worthington said yesterday: "I remember it was a Saturday afternoon when we don't perform that well. It was quite warm.
"I was part of a team that thought maybe it was going to be easy. You cannot afford to do that. If you go into any game thinking it is going to be easy I always think you can get surprised. After a decent start that is the last thing we want. There is still a lot of football to be played. There will be a lot of tough games.
"It is not about revenge on the Faroes. It is just about being professional and doing our job properly."
