Attention América de Cali: Racing eyeing up Duván Vergara
América de Cali is in the midst of defining the League, while having on the horizon the challenge of the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, against Bahía. But the squad led by Jorge Da Silva could suffer significant losses for the next semester. Duván Vergara in the sights of Racing According to Pipe Sierra, the interest of Racing in the América de Cali winger is real, after rumors grew. Advertisement The journalist also clarified that América de Cali is not willing to negotiate until the end of the season. Racing Club qualified for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, to be played in August, and intends to strengthen itself to compete in the continental tournament. It is also said that Racing and América maintain direct contact, without agents or intermediaries, due to the agreement made last year for Juan Fernando Quintero. For América, it would be a very significant loss, considering one of the most unbalancing players in the squad, as well as an experienced reference. In addition to Racing, it has also been reported that Duván Vergara would be on the radar of his rival in Avellaneda, Independiente de Vaccari, and he could also be sought after from Brazil.

🚨📋 The squad: América de Cali face crucial Sudamericana showdown
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. On the last matchday of the group stage of the 2025 South American Cup, América de Cali hosts Racing Club de Montevideo at Pascual team of Jorge Da Silva is in a very delicate situation: it no longer has chances to finish first in the group and therefore can only advance as second, qualifying for the round of 16, which would face them against a third group from the Copa Libertadores. For this, they must wait for the result of the other match, between Huracán and Corinthians, in Buenos Aires. 🇦🇹 ¡𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗔 𝗘𝗟 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟! 🫡🏠 Próximo partido: 🆚 Racing de Montevideo ⚽🏆 CONMEBOL Sudamericana📆 Martes, 27 de mayo 🕢 7:30 p.m.🏟️ Pascual Guerrero 📺 @ESPNColombia — América de Cali (@AmericadeCali) May 26, 2025 🇦🇹 Este escudo se hizo grande con la fuerza y la pasión de su gente. La historia nos enseñó a 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐑 y es momento de demostrarlo una vez más. ¡Mañana, el Pascual nos espera para luchar 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐒! 👹🎟️ Haz parte de la batalla: — América de Cali (@AmericadeCali) May 26, 2025 Regardless of what happens in the other match, América de Cali will decisively aim to beat Racing de Montevideo, a team that has not scored points in the tournament. For this, the club urges all the Scarlet fans to BELIEVE and support the team at Pascual Guerrero. It should be remembered that Huracán is the first in the group with 11 points, Corinthians second with 8, and América de Cali follows them with 7. A victory of the Brazilian team in Argentina eliminates América, but Huracán, a very solid team that has just reached the final of the Argentine Apertura, and is still undefeated in the South American Cup (like América, although the reds won only one), is not going to give away that first place that qualifies them directly to the round of 16. If Corinthians loses, América de Cali could qualify second even by drawing at Pascual Guerrero, by goal difference. 📋⚽️ Los convocados por el profe Jorge Da Silva para enfrentar mañana a Racing Club de Montevideo en el Pascual Guerrero, por la fecha 6 de la CONMEBOL Sudamericana 2025. 👹 — América de Cali (@AmericadeCali) May 27, 2025 A few minutes ago, América de Cali released the list of 23 footballers concentrated with the technical staff of Polilla Da Silva for the match that will be from 7:30 pm.

Tulio Gómez piles pressure on Jorge Da Silva: "We have to win the title"
Tulio Gómez piles pressure on Jorge Da Silva: "We have to win the title" This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Tulio Gómez, the majority shareholder of América de Cali, gave an interview to the program Deportes sin Tapujos, and addressed several current issues of the Scarlet club. Advertisement In particular, the directness of his statements regarding the demands on the coach, Jorge 'Polilla' Da Silva, caught attention. "Results keep coaches in their positions" Tulio Gómez pointed out that the Uruguayan coach has a contract until July. "Results keep coaches in their positions and we must become champions" he assured, putting a bit of pressure on the coach. This Sunday, América de Cali hosts Independiente Medellín at Pascual Guerrero, where they will seek to remain leaders and secure the invisible point ahead of the final quadrangulars. Two days later, they will play for a spot in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, also hosting Racing from Uruguay at home. Advertisement "We had to play on Sunday for the League because Conmebol has the Pascual and they didn't lend us another stadium," Gómez clarified, taking the opportunity to talk about the dream of having their own stadium: "The América stadium project requires managing funds, for now, I don't think we can have it in the Centenary year". Finally, Tulio Gómez spoke about some players. "We are happy," he said about Juan Fernando Quintero and recalled that "he has a three-year contract," so it is expected that he will continue to strengthen his position in the team. He also spoke about Rodrigo Holgado, who might miss some quadrangular matches due to a possible call-up to the Malaysia National Team, although Tulio Gómez expressed: "We are trying to prevent him from going, because it's a friendly match". 📸 JOAQUIN SARMIENTO - AFP or licensors

Inside the worst airport lounge in the US with a less than two star rating: 'dark, dingy pit of windowless sadness'
Airport lounges are a much-coveted travel luxury, designed to ease the often irksome experience of waiting around for a flight. Earned through frequent-flyer points or shelling out hard-earned cash, members and visitors expect comfy seating and decent food. However, one airport lounge is consistently rated among the lowest in the country by fed up travelers. Swissport Lounge at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago has 1.8 stars on Google and a rating of 1.5 out of 5 on Yelp. The lounge is a small windowless room accessible to first-class and business-class travelers on several international airlines including Qatar, Swiss and Emirates, as well as Priority Pass members. Online reviews of the lounge have complained of its poor food, dingy lighting, rude staff and lack of amenities. 'It's like hanging out in the early 90s at your friend's basement at the house his divorced dad rented. Dank. Dark. Weird stains,' one visitor said of the lounge on Reddit. 'But you get to pour your own liquor because there are no adults in charge.' The lounge bar has no staff so guests must make their own drinks. 'Don't go there. Ever. The best part of the experience with this lounge is leaving it. It is a dark, dingy pit of windowless sadness,' another wrote. 'If your goal is to make a 4.5 hour layover at ORD somehow more terrible than it already is, this is a pretty good approach,' a third added. Other reviewers complained that they had been turned away with Priority Pass tickets when the lounge was too full. Jorge Da Silva, head of North America lounges for Swissport, told the Wall Street Journal that the O'Hare lounge is indeed not up to scratch. The company, which operates more than 100 lounges in 20 countries, said it is due a multi-million dollar lounge expansion and makeover. Swissport said the renovation, in tandem with an undisclosed airline, is still awaiting official approval from the airport. 'We are fully committed to improving the passenger experience at ORD,' Da Silva told the outlet. Other reviewers complained that they had been turned away with Priority Pass tickets when the lounge was too full For those looking for a more luxurious experience at Chicago's Terminal 5 there is the Delta Sky Club right across the hall and a new LOT Polish Airlines lounge. Not all reviews of the Swissport Lounge were negative, however, with one Google review giving it the full five stars. 'This place is great,' they wrote earlier this month. 'The drinks are free. There are cup of noodles and gummy bears. 'It beats paying $7 a bag for the gummy bears at the kiosk. People need to quit hating.' It comes after sweeping changes to many beloved airport lounge programs this year. Delta cracked down on its lounge access, while American Express and Capital One introduced digital waitlists which allow cardholders to join the line for lounges remotely through an app.
