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.Q. English teams A and B contest the FA Cup final. Team A has won the Premiership that season, team B the European Cup-Winners' Cup. Who would then enter the next season's Cup-Winners' Cup as England's representatives?
A. The answer is team B as England's representatives. Team A will be in the Champions' League, while team B will play in the Cup-Winners' Cup. As both teams contested the FA Cup final and team A won the league, the only side qualified whatever the result of the final is team B. This is what happened with Liverpool in 1995. In 1993, Olympique de Marseille won both the Champions' League and the French League, qualifying them for the following season's Champions' League, but because of match-rigging, Marseille did not participate. The French League runners-up, Paris St- Germain did not go into the competition as they won the French Cup. AS Monaco, third in the League, entered the event. - Stephane Ferry, Leeds
