📹 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.

The ripple effects of the BLS firing
SLIPPERY SLOPE — The good news for Donald Trump is that the Jeffrey Epstein saga didn't dominate the news cycle today. The bad news? Four days after firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the president was still answering questions about sacking the civil servant who served as the stats chief for economic data, and his unproven claims that the latest jobs data was rigged to make him look bad. His party has largely circled the wagons around him. Critics continue to draw some of the most unflattering — and uncustomary — parallels possible. Trump's move, they argue, is placing the world's largest and most advanced economy in the company of basket cases and developing economies. Janet Yellen, the former Treasury secretary and chair of the Federal Reserve, described the firing to the New York Times as 'the kind of thing you would only expect to see in a banana republic.' Others see comparisons to Argentina and Greece, two nations where government meddling with economic data famously led to harsh consequences. In Argentina, former President Nestor Kirchner fired the head of his government's economic data agency and pushed the agency to produce rosier numbers. Argentinians began to doubt the veracity of the numbers, leading to even more pessimism about the country's economic outlook. The government's data was widely dismissed as unreliable, and the International Monetary Fund censured the government for not providing accurate economic data. 'It may sound implausible, but the same erosion of trust can happen to the United States if institutions like the BLS are politicized,' says Argentine economist Martín Uribe. In a statement, the Council of Professional Associations on Federal Statistics wrote that the rationale for firing Erika McEntarfer, the former BLS commissioner, undermines the credibility of federal economic statistics. 'When leaders of other nations have politicized economic data, it has destroyed public trust in all official statistics and in government science,' the statement said. The BLS is already struggling under resource cuts, staff reductions and declining response rates, and those challenges could worsen under a more partisan BLS commissioner, says economist Jed Kolko, who served as under secretary of commerce in the Biden administration. While he stressed that 'we're a very long way' from U.S. economic data being unreliable, Kolko says he worries about the BLS failing to publish thorough data sets that allow analysts to verify its numbers. In that case, decision-makers could be left to rely on private sector data to fill in the gaps. But that alternative faces serious limitations, he says, because private sector data is often checked against the federal government's numbers to ensure it's accurate. 'Once credibility starts to unravel, it is hard to rebuild,' Kolko says. 'And policymakers, investors, businesses, households, all make decisions based on economic data that they need to be able to trust.' The nomination of a partisan BLS commissioner as McEntarfer's successor could make things worse. And it would have knock-on effects at other agencies like the Census Bureau or the Bureau of Economic Analysis if civil servants fear presenting the White House with data that upsets the president, according to Kyle Handley, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute who leads UC San Diego's Center for Commerce and Diplomacy. Handley stresses that giving up its edge in data reliability could mean 'ceding ground to other countries' for the U.S. 'A lot of organizations rely on us for government data, like the IMF and the World Bank, and that gives Washington some informational leverage on these international institutions,' says Handley. 'And if they don't think that the U.S. is the gold standard of statistics and data reliability anymore, then that's just another way in which the U.S. will become less of a player.' That's in addition to a likely impact on bond yields resulting from a lack of confidence in economic data, which could further damage the American economy by impeding capital flows into the U.S. The Trump administration's approach to trade policy could also be undermined since it is underpinned by the bet that the U.S. economy can withstand an extended trade war. If trading partners doubt data showing the strength of the U.S. economy, that could weaken the White House's position, says economist Steven Kamin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute who has worked for the Fed and the White House Council of Economic Advisers. The appointment of a truly independent civil servant to lead the BLS would avoid that worst-case scenario. But even if the firing was just a fleeting burst of anger, says Kamin, trust in the agency will still take a hit. 'If the temporary fit of pique explanation holds, this certainly still degrades the U.S. standing in the world,' says Kamin. 'It reduces the administration's credibility. It reduces the desire of investors to hold U.S. dollar assets, and it reduces the desire of our trading partners to work with us.' Welcome to POLITICO Nightly.

What'd I Miss? — Trump says he will 'probably not' seek a third term: President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would 'probably not' run for a third term. 'I'd like to run,' he said when asked about the possibility on CNBC's Squawk Box. 'I have the best poll numbers I've ever had.' The 22nd Amendment prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice. That applies to Trump as well, despite his two terms being nonconsecutive. But allies of the president — and Trump himself — have repeatedly floated him serving another term despite that constitutional prohibition. There are possible ways Trump could try to get around this mandate, including repealing the amendment or running for vice president and ascending to the presidency. Trump has previously declined to rule out a third term, saying in March there 'are methods' to assume office again if he wanted to. — Comer issues subpoenas for DOJ's Epstein files, depositions with former officials: The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday issued subpoenas for Department of Justice records on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, as well as for interviews with a slate of former government officials in connection to the case. Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) announced that he was summoning nearly a dozen former officials to appear for depositions on the Epstein investigation — a list that includes former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Former U.S. Attorneys General William Barr, Alberto Gonzales, Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder and Merrick Garland, as well as former FBI Directors Robert Mueller and James Comey were also tapped to give testimony in connection to the case. — Maxwell doesn't want grand jury materials in her case unsealed: Ghislaine Maxwell told a federal judge Tuesday that she opposes the Justice Department's effort to unseal grand jury transcripts in her case, which she described in court papers as a 'broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy.' Maxwell's opposition makes it less likely that a judge will agree to unseal any of the material, which would likely add little to the public's understanding of the matter even if it were to be disclosed. In a court filing Monday night, the Justice Department said that 'much' of the information in the grand jury testimony has already been made public, in part through Maxwell's trial. — Texas AG Paxton will try to expel Texas Democrats if they don't return by Friday: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is moving forward with a plan to remove quorum-breaking House Democrats from office, asserting that by leaving the state they have abandoned their positions, his office announced Tuesday. Paxton said he would begin asking Texas courts on Friday to remove the Democrats if they do not return to Austin. The legal process to remove the lawmakers will likely take time. First, Paxton must file a case against each individual absent Democrat in various district courts, a process that would surely lead to appeals and could drag out long beyond the end of the special session on Aug. 19. AROUND THE WORLD CONTRACEPTION INTERVENTION — Lawmakers and NGOs are pressuring Paris and Brussels to intervene and prevent the incineration of nearly $10 million worth of contraceptives owned by the defunded U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) program. The contraceptives, which are currently being stored in Belgium and are set to be destroyed in France, will not be distributed as initially planned due to the reinstatement of a U.S. policy that prohibits sending aid to organizations that provide abortion services, a U.S. State Department spokesperson told the Guardian in July. 'We are asking the European Commission to intervene,' Mélissa Camara, a French Green MEP who sent a letter to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen about this case told POLITICO on Friday. BUDGET INFLUENCER — François Bayrou doesn't do holidays. Luckily, the battle for the hearts and minds of French taxpayers is keeping him occupied. The French prime minister has launched a series of videos, called 'FB Direct,' to convince the public that the €43.8 billion budget squeeze he has planned for next year is not an act of sadism — but an unavoidable move to prevent a budget crisis. 'All politicians are going on a well-deserved vacation. I will not because the days we're going to live through during these weeks of August and early September are absolutely crucial. This is the moment when everything is at stake,' Bayrou said in the first of these videos published on Tuesday. Last month, during a two-hour press conference billed as 'a moment of truth,' the French prime minister unveiled his draconian plans to drastically cut public spending in 2026. DEADLOCK AHEAD — Karol Nawrocki is being sworn in Wednesday for a five-year term as Poland's president, but it's not going to be a happy day for Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. June's narrow electoral victory by Nawrocki — a nationalist openly allied with U.S. President Donald Trump — delivered a massive body blow to the political prospects of the ruling coalition led by pro-EU centrist Tusk. That threatens to stall the legislative agenda of the EU's fifth-largest country and to slow a push to restore rule of law that led to a breakdown of relations between Warsaw and Brussels. But there are efforts to find common cause between Nawrocki and the centrists in areas like defense — where everyone can agree Russia is the enemy. 'The right-wing opposition candidate's presidential election victory has radically changed Poland's political dynamics, scuppering the liberal-centrist coalition government's plans to reset its reform agenda,' wrote Aleks Szczerbiak, a professor at the University of Sussex who studies Polish politics. Nightly Number RADAR SWEEP PALANTIR DEGREE — A growing number of young people, mostly men, are forgoing college to head straight to Silicon Valley to become entrepreneurs or score a job at a big tech company. The phenomenon reflects Silicon Valley's anti-elitism streak, influenced by tech titan Peter Thiel's disdain for higher education, but has also been exacerbated by the Trump administration's attack on Ivy League schools.

Colombia accuses Peru of fully annexing a disputed island in the Amazon river
BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombian President Gustavo Petro stirred up a decades-old border controversy with Peru on Tuesday when he accused it of fully annexing an Amazon river island that has been administered by Peru for decades, but whose legal status is in dispute. Peru maintains it owns Santa Rosa Island based on treaties about a century old, but Colombia disputes that ownership because the island had not yet emerged from the river at the time. In a message on X, Petro said that Peru acted 'unilaterally' in June when its congress passed a law that upgraded Santa Rosa's legal status by converting it into a district within Peru's Loreto province. The island faces Leticia, a Colombian city of about 60,000 people located in one of the most well-preserved swaths of the Amazon. It is used by many tourists as the launching point for trips into the world's largest rainforest. 'The Peruvian government has just appropriated it by law,' Petro wrote on X, adding that Peru's actions could block Leticia's access to the Amazon river. 'Our government will resort to diplomacy to defend our national sovereignty.' In his message, the president was explaining why he plans to hold a celebration in Leticia on Thursday to mark one of the national holidays that commemorates Colombia's independence from Spain. The Colombian goverment usually celebrates the Aug. 7 holiday in the province of Boyaca in central Colombia, but farmers are currently blocking roads in that part of the country to protest environmental regulations that prohibit agriculture in high-altitude areas. Peru's Foreign Affairs Ministry said in a statement that treaties signed by both countries in 1922 and 1929 granted Peru control of Santa Rosa and other nearby islets. 'Peru is complying firmly with its obligations under international law and with valid bilaterial treaties' the statement said. Colombia says that the treaties could not assign ownership of Santa Rosa because in the 1920s the island had not yet emerged from the world's largest river. Instead, Colombia says that the treaties determine that the border between both countries should be set along a line that follows the deepest points along the river bed. Like many rivers, the Amazon changes its course slowly over time, and erosion or changes in the weather can create or submerge islands. Colombia's Foreign Affairs Ministry said Tuesday that 'for years' it has insisted on the need to create a bilateral commission that will assign ownership of islands that have emerged between the South American countries over the past century. The island is made up mostly of forest, farmland and a small village known as Santa Rosa de Yavari, which has a population of less than 1,000 people, according to Peru's latest census. Santa Rosa was previously classified as a community within the Yavari District of Peru's Loreto Province. In June, Peru's congress voted to turn Santa Rosa into its own district, a move that could facilitate the transfer of funds for education and healthcare, and also enable the modest village to raise its own property taxes. 'We have a diverse economy that relies on commerce and tourism' Santa Rosa's Mayor Jack Yovera told Peruvian network RPP in June, when the law to turn his community into a district was being debated by congress. 'But there are many basic needs that have not been met' said Yovera, who explained that as a young man he had to go to high school in the Colombian city of Leticia, on the other side of the Amazon River, due to the lack of a proper high school in Santa Rosa. The border dispute also surfaced last summer, when an official from Colombia's Foreign Affairs Ministry attended a meeting between political leaders from Leticia and Santa Rosa and said that Peru had occupied the island 'irregularly.' Yovera left the meeting in protest. Later, Colombia's Foreign Affairs ministry issued a statement saying it 'regretted' the incident and that the situation of Santa Rosa Island should be discussed only by high-level officials from both governments. Rueda writes for the Associated Press.
