📹 Corinthians fall short, lose and are out of the Sudamericana
Corinthians needed to win on Argentine soil to avoid depending on a slip-up from América de Cali.
They faced a Huracán side that—focused on the upcoming Apertura final in Argentina—rested nine of their regular starters in the initial lineup.
But Timão didn't even do their part: they lost 1-0 and are ELIMINATED from the Copa Sudamericana.
They were actually qualified for a moment during the unexpected partial defeat of the Colombian team to Racing.
But they were left out after América—who had won only one game in Group C—found a 1-1 equalizer in the 95th minute.
This exit comes after Corinthians had already failed to reach the group stage of the Libertadores.
Check out the best moments of the match below (Available only in Brazil)
They had the ball, but...
Corinthians had more possession already in the first half.
But they struggled to create against a well-organized opponent in their own half.
It was a game more 'fought' than 'played' before halftime.
The best chance of the first half was Sequeira's, who was denied by Hugo Souza.
Timão only really threatened when Martínez found himself in a good position, but sent it over the bar.
Huracán scores, unexpected goal and tension and... ELIMINATION!
Dorival bet on Talles Magno for the second half.
But saw Huracán strike lethally before the second minute.
Recovered and out for two months, Garro was brought on earlier than expected.
Corinthians needed at least a draw, since América de Cali was also stumbling.
Garro's entrance—back after two months—breathed new life into Timão. The Argentine midfielder even nearly scored from a free kick.
Then the unexpected happened in Colombia.
After a completely misguided play by goalkeeper Soto, Fonseca pounced on the rebound and scored for Racing—who were being completely dominated.
Timão complained about a penalty on Garro. And kept trying.
At the same time, América de Cali fought in front of their fans against the great performance of Amade and his teammates.
Their fight was rewarded in the 95th minute, when the Corinthians match had already ended.
Jean Pestaña was the hero for Cali. And the villain for the black-and-whites.
FINAL situation in the group 📊
Huracán was already qualified. And secured first place—and a direct spot in the round of 16—by reaching 14 points.
América de Cali struggled, but earned a point against Racing, celebrated Corinthians' defeat, and advanced.
They finished with the same eight points, but go to the playoffs for having a better goal difference (two to zero).
On Sunday (the 1st), Timão will host Vitória at Neo Química Arena.
This match is for the 11th round of the Brasileirão—the last before the break for the World Cup.

US Work Visa Update as Marco Rubio Announces New Pause
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday announced that commercial truck driving work visas are being paused, "effective immediately." Why It Matters The move comes as federal and Transportation Department investigators probed a deadly Florida highway crash involving a truck driver from India whom prosecutors charged in the deaths of three people. The announcement echoes earlier administration actions to tighten English-language enforcement for commercial drivers and followed recent orders from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to increase oversight. What To Know Taking to X, Rubio posted, "Effective immediately we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers." "The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers," Rubio added. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in April directing the enforcement of English-proficiency rules for commercial drivers. "President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers, as they should be able to read and understand traffic signs; communicate with traffic safety officers, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo weight-limit station personnel; and provide and receive feedback and directions in English," the order said in part. A spokesperson for the State Department told Newsweek via email that the pause is for applicants who wish to operate commercial trucks with H-2B, E-2 and EB-3 visa classifications. "The Department will take all necessary steps to protect public safety, including on America's roads. This pause will remain in place while the Department of State, in coordination with the Departments of Labor and Homeland Security, makes any necessary updates to its screening and vetting protocols," the spokesperson added. This month in St. Lucie County, Florida, Harjinder Singh was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide, accused of attempting an illegal U-turn while driving a commercial semitruck, Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) investigators said. Three people in a minivan died in the crash. FHP said Singh entered the country illegally via the Mexico border in 2018 and obtained a commercial driver's license in California. Press release relating to the truck driver charged for vehicular homicide: — FLHSMV (@FLHSMV) August 17, 2025 What People Are Saying Florida Governor Ron DeSantis posted to X on Monday: "Illegal alien issued CDL by California. Doesn't even speak English. Sanctuary policies are deadly. Must hold the illegal alien accountable but also the other actors involved including the company." Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted to X on Thursday: "Non-enforcement and radical immigration policies have turned the trucking industry into a lawless frontier. @USDOT is committed to cleaning it up. Thanks to @POTUS, all truck drivers MUST be able to speak and read English or they WILL be put out of service. If you don't understand the language, you can't understand the laws. End of discussion." Immigration lawyer Nicolette Glazer posted to X on Thursday: "This is such BS! There are very few 'work visas' issued to commercial truck drivers, probably in the few hundreds, if that, a year. The reason? They don't really fit in the H2B because the shortage is not seasonal or temporary and other than for carriers from MX or Canada w transborder MCs, not likely to fit them in the transfer categories." What Happens Next It is immediately unknown how long the pause will last or if the Trump administration will add more restrictions to it.

Reading by 9: Help your child build a strong bilingual vocabulary
Your toddler's brain is like a sponge, soaking up words from the world around them. On average, by age 1, children recognize about 50 words; by 3 about 1,000 words; and by age 5, they recognize at least 10,000 words! Even if they aren't saying much yet, they understand far more than we realize. That's what makes the first years of your child's life the perfect time to learn a second language. A strong bilingual vocabulary is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. If you speak a home language other than English, supporting your child in developing a strong foundation in this language makes it easier for them to learn English and other languages. It also helps them with self expression, connecting with family and culture, and developing skills that will support reading and learning in the future. The more words your child knows in both languages, the better prepared they'll be to communicate, think critically and succeed in school. Ways to build your child's bilingual vocabularyMultilingual children often mix languages as they learn — that's completely normal! The key is to encourage them to use words in both languages while giving them plenty of opportunities to hear and practice their new vocabulary. Using everyday moments is an easy, impactful way to encourage language learning in the early years. Five easy ways to help your little dual language learner: Talk as much as possible in both languages. Use a variety of words and sentences, describe what you see and do, and encourage your child to talk back. Ask questions to spark conversation. Try open-ended questions like, 'What do you see outside?' or 'How does that feel?' to encourage them to use new words. Expand on what they say. If they say, 'Dog run,' you can respond, 'Yes! The big brown dog is running fast!' to introduce more words. Sing songs and say rhymes in both languages. Music helps kids remember words and makes learning fun! Introduce new words throughout the day. Whether at mealtime, playtime, or bath time, keep pointing out and using new words in both languages. Your child's vocabulary is their foundation for thinking, reading and learning — so every conversation, song, and story you share in both their home language and English is a step toward their future success.

Trump administration is reviewing all 55 million foreigners with US visas for any violations
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration said Thursday it is reviewing more than 55 million people who have valid U.S. visas for any violations that could lead to deportation, part of a growing crackdown on foreigners who are permitted to be in the United States. In a written answer to a question from The Associated Press, the State Department said all U.S. visa holders, which can include tourists from many countries, are subject to 'continuous vetting,' with an eye toward any indication they could be ineligible for permission to enter or stay in the United States. Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked, and if the visa holder is in the United States, he or she would be subject to deportation. Since President Donald Trump took office, his administration has focused on deporting migrants illegally in the United States as well as holders of student and visitor exchange visas. The State Department's new language suggests that the continual vetting process, which officials acknowledge is time-consuming, is far more widespread and could mean even those approved to be in the U.S. could abruptly see those permissions revoked. There were 12.8 million green-card holders and 3.6 million people in the U.S. on temporary visas last year, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The 55 million figure suggests that some people subject to review would currently be outside the United States with multiple-entry tourist visas, said Julia Gelatt, associate director of the U.S. immigration policy program at the Migration Policy Institute. She questioned the value of spending resources on people who may never return to the United States. The State Department said it was looking for indicators of ineligibility, including people staying past the authorized timeframe outlined in a visa, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity or providing support to a terrorist organization. 'We review all available information as part of our vetting, including law enforcement or immigration records or any other information that comes to light after visa issuance indicating a potential ineligibility,' the department said. No more worker visas for commercial truck drivers The U.S. also will stop issuing worker visas for commercial truck drivers, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday on X. He said the change was effective immediately. 'The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers,' Rubio posted. The Trump administration in the past months has taken steps to enforce the requirement that truckers speak and read English proficiently. The Transportation Department said the aim is to improve road safety following incidents in which drivers' ability to read signs or speak English may have contributed to traffic deaths. The State Department said later Thursday it was pausing the processing of these work visas to review its 'screening and vetting protocols.' 'Ensuring that every driver on our roads meets the highest standards is important to protecting the livelihoods of American truckers and maintaining a secure, resilient supply chain,' the department said. Edward Alden, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, said foreign workers have helped address a labor shortage of commercial truck drivers. 'This action should be seen as part of a concerted effort by the administration to discourage American companies and other institutions like universities and hospitals from hiring and retaining foreign workers,' Alden wrote in an email. "The goal here is not to target specific classes of workers, but to send the message to American employers that they are at risk if they are employing foreign workers. The economic consequences will be far larger than just visas being stripped from foreign workers in a few job categories.' New review of all visa holders is a major expansion The administration has steadily imposed more restrictions and requirements on visa applicants, including requiring them to submit to in-person interviews. The review of all visa holders appears to be a significant expansion of what had initially been a process focused mainly on students who have been involved in what the government perceives as pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel activity. Officials say the reviews will include all visa holders' social media accounts, law enforcement and immigration records in their home countries, along with any actionable violations of U.S. law committed while they were in the United States. The reviews will include new tools for data collection on past, present and future visa applicants, including a complete scouring of social media sites made possible by new requirements introduced earlier this year. Those make it mandatory for privacy switches on cellphones and other electronic devices or apps to be turned off when an applicant appears for a visa interview. 'As part of the Trump Administration's commitment to protect U.S. national security and public safety, since Inauguration Day the State Department has revoked more than twice as many visas, including nearly four times as many student visas, as during the same time period last year,' the State Department said. The vast majority of foreigners seeking to come to the U.S. require visas, especially those who want to study or work for extended periods. Among the exceptions for short-term tourist or business visits are citizens of the 40 mainly European and Asian countries belonging to the Visa Waiver Program, which grants those nationals a stay of up to three months without having to apply for a visa. But large swaths of the world — including highly populated countries like China, India, Indonesia, Russia and most of Africa — are not part of the program, meaning their citizens must apply for and receive visas to travel to the United States. Earlier this week, the department said that since Trump returned to the White House, it has revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstays and violations of local, state and federal law, the vast majority of which were assault, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and support for terrorism. It said about 4,000 of those 6,000 were due to actual infractions of laws and that approximately 200 to 300 visas were revoked for terrorism-related issues, including providing support for designated terrorist organizations or state sponsors of terrorism. ___ Elliot Spagat in San Diego contributed. ___
