Stop nitpicking. 
That's quite literally impossible for him.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

IIUC, so long as the player is under 21 when the tournament starts in qualifying, they are eligible for the entire tournament regardless of age during specific matches.

Here's a piece of exciting news. The club I support in Brazil (Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense) just finished its new stadium, so, since the terrain where the old one is was sold, they are going to begin its demolition.
But, the club made a promotion to the associates that they could play a game in the Stadium that's going to be demolished. This one:

It happens that I could get a spot on one of the teams that is going to play, so I'll be playing a match in the stadium of my club. I never did anything similar and I'm very excited. I'll try to post some pictures after it happens (it's going to be this sunday).

The way international underage tournaments work is that you're eligible if you were under the age limit at the start of qualifying, usually two years before the actual event.
Stupid I know, but what do you expect with a governing body swindled out of over €20m by one of its leading administrators.

Center Back or Defensive Midfielder. But I fully expect to switch to forward near the end of the game, just to have a chance at scoring a goal.

Don't worry, Ichabod will be sent off after 15 minutes due to divers and play acting
