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.Johann Laxdal and his team-mates at Icelandic soccer side Stjarnan found global fame as a result of an improbable goal celebration - after netting an injury-time winner, they play-acted the catching of Laxdal's evocative leaping salmon and hoisted him aloft for a make-believe photograph.
Such creative jubilance was soon circulated far and wide, and the YouTube user who uploaded the since removed clip supplemented it with a few more Stjarnan routines: the Rambo tribute, a military parade, and a ballroom dance (though, with typical dry humor, the goalscorer is left without a partner).
Elsewhere, a tentative gloves-off fist-fight is on the cards for two young ice hockey players - at least until Mom steps in - Brazilian wonderkid Neymar can't quite convert a penalty kick despite his confidence, Manchester United's new Mexican signing Hernandez makes his debut, and a LeBron James shirt at the baseball stadium in LeBron's old city of Cleveland causes significant crowd unrest.
