WORLD CUP: SPREAD BETTING
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.THE COMPANIES may nick a point here and there but in the first week of the competition there was one constant - no one was piling in to back England.
The 2-0 win over Tunisia has changed all that and City report that they have been backed heavily on their overall 100 Index, Group Index and the Golden Boot market.
That confidence receives its first test tonight. Romania's old boys sailed through an easy qualifying group and have scored in all but one of their past 31 internationals while England's defence is one of the best, conceding goals to only Chile (2) and Switzerland (1) in their 16 games under Hoddle.
Something has to give and a sell of total goals seems to have little risk.
Trumpet blowing time: Anyone who followed the advice from this corner concerning the Netherlands v South Korea game on Saturday will have cause to be delighted in many ways.
Not just the comfortable Dutch supremacy, not only the Koreans' negative Performance rating (with Sporting) but the huge leap in the total goals quote for the Dutch.
A buy was advised at 7.6 with Sporting and it now stands at 10.2 (10.6- 11.4 with IG). Feel free to take the profit.
