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.

Nigeria beat Iceland 2-0 yesterday to maintain their hopes of progression from the World Cup and some more fantastic news on that front regards Wolves and Nigeria goalkeeper Carl Ikeme who is now in complete remission from cancer. 

All the best, Carl.

A good piece of advice from Gary, here. 

Football > Fun, Sun & anything in between.

I know you are all engrossed in this game, which Belgium currently lead 2-1, especially with it affecting England in Group G, but here's a preview for the next game of today between South Korea and Mexico.

HALF TIME: Belgium 3-1 Tunisia 

On the cusp of half time, Romelu Lukaku nets his second of the game and fourth of the tournament, equalling leading scorer Cristiano Ronaldo. 

Blistering attacking from Belgium with Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku & Mertens looking a real threat.

Better not rain...

In true Thierry Henry style...BLIMEY! 

And there's surely a lot more to come. 

Nathan Jacobs23 June 2018 14:05

The stats just keep getting better and better for Romelu. 

Nathan Jacobs23 June 2018 14:09

Our very own Ed Malyon is pretty satisfied with what he's seeing from this Belgium side. 

Do you agree? On this performance, it's hard not to.
