Manchester United striker Hoylund joined his former club's celebrations following Atalanta's 3-0 Europa League win over Liverpool on Thursday night. However, this result may not be beneficial for the Red Devils to participate in the Champions League next season.
Klopp's Liverpool performed shockingly at Anfield, they were scored twice by former West Ham United import player Scamacca and was frozen by Mario Phasalic. Atlanta's victory gave them an overwhelming advantage in promoted. Next week in Bergamo, Liverpool must win by 4 goals to reach the semi-finals, it can be said that one foot is out.
Meanwhile, Hoylund joined Manchester United from Atlanta last summer for a transfer fee of £73 million.
Although the Danish striker only played for Atlanta for one season, he clearly still has his eyes on his old club. After Atalanta's win, Hoylund posted a photo of the team celebrating at Anfield, accompanied by the words "Mola mia", a Bergamo proverb meaning "never give up".
It is completely understandable that Hoylund cheers for his old team, but from Manchester United's perspective, Ten Hag may still hope that Liverpool can create a miracle and turn the game around. Because of the results of the Europa League, the Premier League has fallen behind in the fight to win another spot in the Champions League next season.
Aston Villa in the UEFA Cup were the only team in the Premier League to win the European Championship this week, beating Lille. In the Europa League, in addition to the miserable defeat against Liverpool, West Ham United was also defeated 0-2 away from home by Leverkusen and is also at risk of being eliminated. In the Champions League, Manchester City and Arsenal drew with their opponents.
Now, Serie A is firmly in first place in UEFA's coefficient list and will almost certainly receive a Champions League spot, while the Bundesliga and Premier League will compete for another spot. Bayer Leverkusen's victory slightly improved the Bundesliga's scoring record.
Manchester United
The UEFA Champions League will expand in scale in the 2024/25 season, with 36 participating teams, 4 more places than currently, 2 of the positions will be determined through "European War Achievements" . Specifically, the two leagues with the best overall performance in European tournaments this season can add one additional team to participate. Specifically, in the Premier League there are already 4 spots, even the 5th ranked team can participate.
According to UEFA's coefficient calculation equation, a winning team gets 2 points, a draw gets 1 point, a losing team gets 0 points, and when entering the next stage, bonus points will be added. The statistical result is divided by the total number of clubs participating in the tournament and the result is: UEFA coefficient of the tournament.
At this time, Serie A is far ahead with 18,714 points, Bundesliga has 16,928 points, Premier League has 16,875 points, La Liga has 15,062 points, Ligue 1 has 14,750 points. The main battle between England and Germany is the fight for second place.
Manchester United
There are 7 Serie A teams in the European competition this season and there are currently 4, their highest potential points coefficient is 23,428 points, 3 of the 7 Bundesliga teams are still playing, and the highest possible coefficient is 22,500 points, 5 out of 8 Premier League teams participating, the team is not eliminated and the maximum score coefficient is up to 24 points. But this requires Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham and Villa to achieve good results in the next matches.
Among the opponents, Bayern Munich will meet Arsenal at home in round 2 and could progress, Leverkusen will also advance to the Europa League as long as they do not lose heavily in the away match. to win the championship. The laggard in the Bundesliga could be Dortmund, they lost 1-2 at home to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals and are also at risk of being eliminated.
Manchester United is currently ranked 6th in the Premier League, 11 points behind Tottenham and Villa. It is difficult to overcome both teams at the same time. A more realistic goal is to strive for 5th place and hope for an opponent in the Premier League. can win the championship. Champions League in the European war.

Every once in a while I get asked for advice by people interested in audiobook work.
I'm now adding a postscript to my replies to say that if they would like to thank me, I invite them to give a kind review to any of my books, for which I am happy to supply a free review copy.
Good reviews help sales a great deal. Most of the books I've narrated are short. It's a small ask.
Because reviews help so much, I'm always happy to give anyone who has a sincere interest in reviewing my audiobooks a free review copy.
If you are reading this and that's you, pick out a title from this list, and let me know if you need a US or UK Audible code. It's that easy! https://adaraastin.ck.page/223e08bb72
*And please don't tank my reviews. If you hate a book, no review is better than a bad one.
Do we still think #Ubisoft is pro consumer? Day one paid DLC? The fuq? I am not hating, I am simply not paying. That’s all. I will give them max 30€ for the complete edition. I don’t care when that will be, I have a ton of purchased unplayed games. Good luck to #Ubisoft with this tactics.
@darth didn't mean to use your post to start a hate rant against Ubi, it was just a perfect example why I stopped being a customer for AAA big corporations. I feel the same towards EA, Acti-Blizzard, Konami, WB, etc
I could not be happier with what the indie studios have to offer, the AA publishers and the few decent AAA studios, like Larian or CD Project. Also its an amazing time to be a patient gamer and get older titles for peanuts.
FOMO for me is more like JOMO (the joy of missing out)
@Macaroni_ninja oh don’t worry about it, there was no misunderstanding between you and me. But some other people think I hate Ubisoft. Patient gaming is fantastic: we get completed games with no bugs and lowest prices.
I've been dreadfully sick since the weekend. The sort of "can't stand upright for 5 minutes without passing out" kind of sick. I desperately want to finish the new content I'm working on 'cos I have a shitload more in the pipeline itching to get out. I need help. Send me your spiciest adventure game memes to pick up my spirits.
“Digital art book” … let’s be real for a moment. It’s a set of pictures inside the game, which you cannot view unless you pay extra. Now when did this become normal?
@Blyfh Well in the show she was 12, but it does seem they aged her up a bit. I'm just wondering how good her aim would be. I could see Toph with an SMG (and loving it), but the idea of her with a sniper rifle amuses me.
@thomas@simon I do not have to agree with you, correct? If that’s OK with you I will buy the full version of this game (not the 80€ crippled version) for 30€ once it is completed and discounted. I am talking about the 140€ version, but not with promised conted but with released content. I do not approve games getting paid DLC’s.
I purchased Baldur’s Gate 3 for 60€ and zero content was taken out of the game. See the beauty of capitalism? I can chose. :drake_like:
Aruba has long been a special place for Stacy Argondizzo. For years, her family has vacationed on the tiny Caribbean Island every July. More recently it’s been more than just a place to take a break from her work as a digital archivist—becoming wholly a part of that work.
A project Argondizzo galvanized comes to full fruition this week. The Internet Archive is now home to the Aruba Collection, which hosts digitized versions of Aruba’s National Library, National Archives, and other institutions including an archaeology museum and the University of Aruba. The collection comprises 101,376 items so far—roughly one for each person who lives on the Island—including 40,000 documents, 60,000 images, and seven 3D objects.
The Internet Archive is mostly known for trying to back up online resources like websites that don’t have a government body advocating for their posterity. Being tapped to back up an entire nation’s history takes the nonprofit into new territory, and it is a striking endorsement of its mission to bring as much information online as possible. “What makes Aruba unique is they have cooperation from all the leading cultural heritage players in the country,” says Chris Freeland, the Internet Archive’s director of library services. “It’s just an awesome statement.” The project is funded wholly by the Internet Archive, in line with its policy of generally letting anyone upload content.
The Aruba project was set in motion in 2018, after Argondizzo, then working at the Internet Archive, began to wonder if she could help preserve Aruba’s history. The island has a turbulent past—its indigenous population was colonized by the Spanish and then the Dutch—and its archives contain artefacts ranging from sunny vintage postcards to books about the nation’s role in the slave trade and Venuzuela’s oil boom. Although Aruba is relatively safe from hurricanes, the threat of what a severe storm or other extreme weather could do to its physical archives made Argondizzo nervous. “They were one disaster away, basically, from losing everything,” she says.
Argondizzo reached out to Peter Scholing, an information specialist at Aruba’s national library. When they met the next time she was in town at the library’s colorful headquarters in the capital city Oranjestad, what started as a brief tour of the library turned into a marathon conversation. “We just hit it off,” says Argondizzo.
Scholing was equally delighted to connect. “We ran into a lot of roadblocks before we stumbled upon the Internet Archive,” he says. Archival work can be labor- and resource-intensive—it’s not easy to turn stacks of dusty tomes and fragile decades-old newspapers into easily searchable files. The budget for digitization, he says, is “shoestring,” making the scope of the project daunting, especially for a country of around 110,000 people.
Despite its limited funds, Aruba had its own scanning equipment it could use for the project. But the Internet Archive provided the software to organize the sprawling collection, including algorithms to decipher handwriting to turn centuries-old penmanship into digital text ready for modern readers.
Aruba’s colonial history also meant documents were spread all over the place. “Our collection was scattered,” says Edric Croes, the head of archival conservation and management at the National Archives of Aruba. There were works to be scanned across the world, including in the Netherlands, Spain, the United States, and other islands like Curaçao. Establishing a hub to find the documents online has been especially helpful, Scholing notes, for researchers located abroad, who no longer have to travel to Aruba to physically dig through archives.
It’s unusual for a country to outsource this sort of project to a foreign nonprofit. “In a dream world, every national library would have enough funds to bring on an amazing team of people,” says University of Waterloo history professor Ian Milligan, who is writing a book on the Internet Archive’s origins, and was not involved in the Aruba project. “Governments often don’t have that.”
The Internet Archive has not previously acted as custodian of a country’s whole collection, although it has worked with a number of national and regional libraries around the world. Back in 2011, it partnered with the Culture Office of Bali, an island province of Indonesia, to preserve what the office described at the time as “90 percent of Bali’s literature.” (This now makes up the Internet Archive’s Balinese Digital Library collection.)
Aruba’s archivists hope other nations will follow in its digital footsteps. “It’s a really feasible model that could be applied to a lot of small islands, developing states, even bigger countries with limited means,” Scholing says.
Partnering with the Internet Archive looks like an obvious solution for cash-strapped archivists. Potential partners do need to think, though, about what it means to rely on another country’s private organization, one with its own challenges.
“When we think about digital preservation, we often think of the technical challenges,” says Milligan of Waterloo. “But I think the biggest challenges are the social challenges, the human challenges. How can you set up an organization that will be here in 50 years?”
He credits the Internet Archive with a very “sustainable structure,” in terms of future-proofing. But that doesn’t make it wholly invulnerable. The Archive is currently facing a number of serious legal challenges, including a lawsuit from major record labels, including Universal Music Group, Capitol, and Sony, that poses an existential threat—the labels are asking for damages that could amount to over $400 million.
That’s on top of an ongoing dispute with publishing companies over a digital lending library it established during the pandemic. While its digitization capabilities are far more robust than many nation-states, the Internet Archive’s position in an increasingly vituperative battleground between copyright holders and tech companies means that its future is precarious, too.
The Internet Archive sees Aruba’s endorsement as especially timely. “It’s been really empowering to see that the nation of Aruba is continuing to add materials and upload content at the same time that we’re facing this,” Freeland says. “We’re in this for the long haul.”
