Thierry Henry steps down from France Under-21 coach role after Paris Olympics

Thierry Henry has stepped down as coach of the French Under-21 national football team, the country’s football federation said on Monday, days after his team lost to Spain in the Olympic final. The Federation Francaise de Football (FFF) said in a statement that Henry had cited personal reasons for his decision to end his contract, which had been due to run to June 2025.

I’m watching England Aussie and… Henderson? Hahahahahhaha. I would honestly rather watch the England Under21’s.

I can’t be neutral because I want Australia to lose (of course) and I’m happy for Levi Colwill and some of the players who don’t get to play much, but my god he plays in a bus drivers league.

Anyway. Let us all, me especially, enjoy this game for what it is really for: looking at the players wet.

BASICS.

FULL NAME:    kaien   (m.)   matsushita.    in japanese,   his family name can be interpreted as "beneath the pine tree"   ( 松下,   matsushita).    ALIAS:    bonebreaker. AGE:    verse dependent   (his timeline is extensive).    BIRTHDATE:    jan 20th   (aquarius   /   capricorn cusp).    PLACE OF BIRTH:    osaka,   japan.    NATIONALITY:    dual-nationality;   french and japanese.    GENDER:    cis male   (he   /   him pronouns).    SEXUALITY:    bisexual.    SPECIES:    adept* * for the sake of simplicity,   an adept is not dissimilar to an enhanced   /   meta-human or a mutant.    AFFILIATION:    the headquarters   (ex);   he freelances now.    OCCUPATION:    hunter*;   simultaneously,   he manages his family’s cafe and doubles as a bartender and pastry chef.    

* hunters are the mercenaries of his universe,   but they are put through specialized training that involves,   among other things,   combat and negotiation strategies.    hunters accept all sorts of jobs,   ranging from detective work,   to protection detail,   to hit jobs.    as long as the client goes through the proper channels   (usually through the company administration),   a hunter can be hired to do most-anything.    

APPEARANCE.    

HEIGHT:    6ft6in,   198cm.    HAIR COLOR:    black.    EYE COLOR:    shades of amethyst.    his eyes are especially bright;   they appear magenta.    all adepts' eyes do. BUILD:    mesomorph.    STYLE:    he favors black leathers;   harder to puncture,   and alternatively,   easier to conceal any possible bleeding.    off the job,   his wardrobe is varied with no strict,   determined style;   he wears what looks good on him.    TATTOOS:    blackout sleeve   (not an image of the placement,   but rather the motif).    it begins halfway up his left forearm,   stretching up to cover his left shoulder and the side of his neck to just underneath his jaw;   an imitation of sinew and bone to hide the scarring underneath.    PIERCINGS:    several ear piercings on both ears.    a closed-up navel piercing from his teens,   later re-pierced in his 20s.    SCARS:    noticeably,   only 2*:    one on his right-side temple,   hidden by the convenient sweep of hair.    the second,   starting just below his jaw and branching to the left to stretch down the length of his neck and across the meat of his shoulder and upper arm.    it covers the entire area of the skin.    *    these wounds were gained before his adeptal abilities awakened and are therefore the only ones to have left any scarring.    otherwise,   all of kaien’s wounds heal without a mark.    ACCESSORIES:    leather gloves that act as a barrier between kaien’s hands   (ie.    ability)   and his surroundings.    he rarely goes places without them.  OTHER:    a beauty mark just underneath his left eye.    

HEALTH.    

PHYSICAL:    insomnia.    hypersomnia.    chronic migraine. PSYCHE:    major depressive disorder.    manic syndrome.    

SKILLSET.    

an adept is born with an ability that can awaken anywhere from birth to adulthood.    this ability is unique to the adept and can't be replicated   /   won't appear a second time even if that adept were to die at any point.    

ABILITIES:    break*   (and complete mastery over it)   ,   blueprint**   (and complete mastery over it),   enhanced condition, enhanced healing,   enhanced combat,   weapon proficiency,   poison and disease immunity***,   immortality****,   panmnesia.    

*** adepts cannot catch illnesses.    any condition that has the possibility of having   /   being a detriment to the adept gets phased out.    similarly,   poisonous elements have no long-lasting adverse effects on them.    

**** to put it simply,   after a certain age,   an adept’s body stops experiencing cell death.    it’s not that they’re left in stasis,   but that when natural cell death should occur,   the cells repair themselves instead.    

SIGNATURES.    

SONG:    d - feat.    tomotaka tsuji - lite.    (alt:   stars - nina simone.)   FLOWER:    a toss-up between blue bells   (gratitude)   and red spider lilies   (rebirth).    COLOR:    green;   like the color of mature leaves,   the color of a dense forest,   of an undiscovered pond,   of deep seas,   of a dark fluorescent room.    ICE CREAM:    mint chocolate.    SUBJECT:    science-focused;   formal and natural sciences.    INSTRUMENT:    bass-guitar.    DRINK:    no specific drink,   just something with lots of caffeine or sugar! ELEMENT:    fire or earth.    or a mix of the two.    QUOTE:    t.    “it is a serious thing   /   just to be alive   /   on this fresh morning   /   in this broken world.”

— — ask me about verses. or look for them on the blog! i post about crossovers often, and even if there's no available content on my blog, i'm more than happy to brainstorm on the spot! i love making verses for my friends :) — — available crossover verses: dragon age (dai, datv), fire emblem: three houses, baldur's gate 3, genshin impact, haikyuu, mass effect, kingdom hearts, marvel comics.

NOTES. 

his biological parents are deceased.    he begins to live with a foster family,   the kotabes,   in his mid-teenaged years and maintains the closest familial relationship with the kotabe daughter and three years his elder,   sei.    though their relationship is all-around positive,   the kotabes aren’t his parents,   but sei is his sister,   as far as he’s concerned.

the vision in his right eye is significantly worse than in his left due to ocular trauma.    it's not noticeable when he has both eyes open because his left eye overcompensates,   but if he closes his left eye,   his surroundings become a lot more difficult to navigate.

he doesn’t cry.    can’t,   to be precise.    he used to be able to,   but he’s been unable to for far longer now.

sometime in his thirties,   after he comes back to take up a more permanent residence in japan again,   kaien starts keeping an albino burmese.    he names her daikon.

he invented the color purple and green and red and yellow and   *continues naming colors until i run out of ones the human eye can visualize and then i just start making more up*

he was an honors student in highschool and university;   genuinely loved to be at school!    his parents instilled strong education-is-important core values just by virtue of existing.

is it cringe if i say his charm-based stats are maxed...    he’s a social butterfly   —   people gravitate towards him because he’s genuine,   both with himself and with others,   and never puts on a front.    you’ll always know where you stand with him,   for better or worse.

somewhat related to the above point,   but he genuinely doesn’t care if and when random people dislike him.    he’s not the sort of person you can offhandedly upset and he’s almost impossible to purposely antagonize.    if someone wants to get a rise out of him,   ninety-nine percent of the time it’s a complete waste of their energy.    it sounds overstated,   but i’m so serious about this.

also somewhat related to the above points,   but kaien doesn’t really raise his voice.    genuinely what is there to shout about?

love languages are physical touch and acts of service.    if he loves you,   he’ll really go out of his way for you;   something he doesn’t do for everyone.    

he’s a great cook,   but he especially loves to bake because his mother loved to bake.    ask him to make all sorts of delicious treats for you!    (he’ll do it regardless if he loves you because he wants to give you everything,   but it’s nice if you go out of your way to ask.    he’ll appreciate it.)

he’s a slow riser and a chronic dozer.    sometimes oversleeper.    if he has to be somewhere that requires full alertness,   he needs to start waking up at least two hours prior.

#EISBYL: SELECTIVE, HIGHLY PRIVATE [ BYLETH EISNER ] FROM INTSYS' [ FIRE EMBLEM SERIES ], INSPIRED BY SERIES LORE, HEAVILY HEADCANONED. UNDER21 DNI. STANDARD RULES APPLY. SHORT BIO AND VERSE INFO UNDER READ-MORE.

NAME:     byleth eisner   (though keeping in mind, not her true name) TITLE:     the ashen demon,   the fell-star,   the beginning* AGE:     verse dependent.   20   (beginning)   -   25   (time-skip).     (by default,   i write byleth post sothis-merger.)     immortal.     in a modern-verse setting,   her d.o.b. remains unchanged,   making her nearly 900 years old BIRTHDATE:     the 20th of the horsebow moon in imperial year 1159 GENDER IDENTITY:     nonbinary   (uses she   /   her pronouns) SEXUALITY:     bisexual FAMILY:     jeralt   (father,   deceased),   sitri   (mother,   deceased),   no other known family MARITAL STATUS:     single,   though she has assumed covers on many an undercover job AFFILIATION:     jeralt’s mercenary group OCCUPATION:    temporary professor at garreg mach monastery’s officer’s academy;    full-time mercenary HEIGHT:     175cm / 5ft9in WEIGHT:     around 200lbs / 90 kg. her bones are a lot heavier than human bones, so the muscles are in turn denser and heavier, as well. she's around 30 kgs heavier than others with a build similar to hers HAIR:     before the merger:     hair the color of deep oceans during a storm.     after the merger:     hair the color of seafoam EYES:     before the merger:     eyes the color of a polished lapis lazuli gemstone.     after the merger:     eyes the color of a polished chrysoprase gemstone

OTHER DETAILS: 

byleth’s hands   (her palms especially, but the backs of her hands too)   are littered with scars.     some that healed well, and are just smooth   /   faded skin, and some that didn’t.     some are from her childhood   /   from brandishing a weapon practically from birth and some are healed over wounds from before their merc group found a healer   /   before she learned basic healing magics.     she wears gloves and a light gauntlet set now

aside from her hands,   byleth has notable scarring in three places:     throat, chest, and abdomen.     the first scar is on the chest:     a heart transplant surgery scar.     it’s sizable and branches out at the upper half portion;   it starts at her sternum and travels up to the base of her clavicles.     the branch curves to the left.     the neck and abdomen scars are slash and stab wounds,   respectively,   old ones from when she used to fight a lot more recklessly and was prone to injuries at all

she has a pair of nipple piercings.     she had them pierced in the middle of a mission, around a year prior to her initial arrival at garreg mach

in canon, when she smiles, she never shows her teeth.     the reason for this is that if she were to grin, the appearance of her would make it obvious she’s not just human.     don’t ask her to show her teeth;   she’s practiced hiding them.     she’s practiced hiding everything that would make her visibly stand out

her eyes are prominent.     her gaze is piercing.     when the sun’s up, her eyes are easily noticeable because of the color   (and because she has very big eyes! very open eyes!),   but when the sun sets, they attain a distinct sheen to them that makes it appear as if they glow in the dark   (and they do.     i’m not creative).     prior to sothis’ soul merging with hers, this was subtle, but after her appearance changes, this vague sheen to her irises becomes immediately eye-catching, especially under the moon

LIKES:     her father first and foremost,   helping and listening to people   (specifically,   she relies considerably on outside sources,   and how useful she is to others,   to quantify her merit),   reliable allies,   smiles,   and being trusted.     she’s partial to animals and finds them easy to understand and communicate with DISLIKES:     senseless killing.     no other apparent dislikes OTHER:     her battle-oriented interests aside,   she has several more mundane hobbies.     she keeps a journal   (the intent of this is primarily functional,   as a record of her life;     she fears losing more of her memories),   dabbles in flower-pressing,   and,   like her father,   enjoys fishing in her free time.     another one of her hobbies is reading — life and poetry journals,   to be specific;     it was a way for her to learn more about human emotions,   and it offered insight that pure observation could not

PORTRAYAL NOTES: 

byleth can smell sickness.     her nose picks up on the subtle differences in a person’s scent,   regardless of whether it’s a minor or major illness 

she has the ability to wield fire.     this particular brand of magic is chantless,   and she can call to it at any given time,   without preparation or warning

suffers from chronic pains.     she has achieved complete control over her body and the visible symptoms   /   consequences of the pain,   so no one apart from her family knows

while she doesn’t have a heartbeat of her own,   she can hear other people's heartbeats,   even at a distance.     this,   alongside several other details,   makes her an incredibly difficult person to lie to

experiences frequent depersonalization-derealization disorder symptoms.     her symptoms are exacerbated in the aftermath of her five-year coma

she becomes attached to kindness easily — it makes her no easier to fool,   but it does make her more prone to forgive,   even in situations others would deem unforgivable

resistant to poisons,   up to a certain degree.     this has less so to do with her unique disposition and more with consistent,   careful micro-dosing

as the primordial goddess’s vessel,   and later becoming a goddess herself,   byleth can accelerate, decelerate, stop and reverse time.     again,   up to a certain degree

she doesn’t tend to use profanity.     there’s no special reason for this,   merely accustomance.     in addition,   the emotional enticement that’s attached to profanity is something she rarely feels

skilled at gambling,   and barring that,   any sort of skill-oriented game with high stakes   /   the possibility of earning money.   this is entirely due to her strategizing proficiency.     cards,   especially,   are only partially about luck.     success is more attributed to math,   being able to sell one’s hand,   and get a read on your opponent in turn — all her fortes

despite a non-existent heartbeat and no feasible way for her body to pump blood,   byleth’s body runs,   on average,   several degrees hotter than other human bodies.     her blood itself is hot,   as opposed to typically warm

VERSE INFO:     *   the major occurrences in fire emblem: three houses are fixed events in byleth’s story and permeate,   at least partially,   every one of her available verses.     it isn’t necessary to be familiar with the plot prior to interaction,   but these events will feature in all verse development

FIRE EMBLEM:      canon verse.     byleth is a mercenary,   part of her father’s troupe,   assuming a temporary teaching position at garreg mach officer's academy.     golden deer alignment,   thread-dependent.     once the goddess’s vessel,   now a goddess herself — the fell-star

GEN-MODERN:     more predisposed towards modern fantasy.     treats the events of fire emblem as having happened at some point in history.     byleth has adapted to modern society and functions accordingly.     adaptable to most modern-setting series

GEN-FANTASY:     similar to canon verse,   but less bound to a strict timeline,   treating the events from three houses as already having happened.     byleth is a traveling mercenary,   possessing a goddess’s soul

DRAGON AGE:     treats fodlan as a continent separate of thedas.     byleth is a repeat temporary resident of kirkwall during the events of dragon age 2,   specifically.     present for all of act 1,   after which she leaves thedas for fodlan where her canon verse runs its course,   for a total of six years.    she returns permanently for the events of act 3.     come inquisition,   it’s possible to recruit her as a companion

BALDUR’S GATE:     same as gen-fantasy,   but adhering to the events from baldur’s gate 3.     byleth is a prisoner aboard the nautiloid.     a multi-classed fighter and sorcerer

TBA:     i like developing verses for series my friends and mutuals enjoy, so if none of the verses listed apply to your muses, chances are i'd love to workshop something that would! message me :)

ok, in all seriousness- this is a super low-stress blog! here to have fun and vibe!

full-time student, writing my thesis, fluctuating activity... etc. etc. you get it 😭 i manage three other blogs, as well, so i'll hop around!

there's no need to be super (or at all) familiar with persona's story to interact- i love crossovers and will happily disregard canon in favor of a dynamic!

au galore... give them to me... the multiverse is ours fr

i'll add a little about section later (maybe... maybe) but honestly as far as general info goes you're just as well-off giving the wiki a skim or asking me- as for any important divergencies/headcanons about akira, i'll be sure to post about them separately!

message me and let's be friends! 😚

Ma Locatelli e non fagioli lo hai capito? Ed udogie?

Penso che Fagioli non sia al 100%, infatti neanche in under21 è stato chiamato.

Udogie? Boh, so che sta facendo bene in premier, forse l'allenatore dell'under non voleva lasciarlo alla nazionale maggiore, ha ancora 20 anni e se lo terranno stretto per il prossimo anno o i prossimi due (tipo Tonali e Fagioli💀)

Under21, il ct degli Azzurrini Nicolato saluta: "È stato un onore, mi mancherete”

Per gli annunci ufficiali bisognerà aspettare ancora qualche giorno ma Paolo Nicolato si porta avanti e attraverso la sua pagina Instagram si congeda.  Quella contro la Norvegia all’Europeo di categoria resterà la sua ultima partita al timone dell’Under 21, alla fine di un percorso iniziato nel 2016 all’interno delle selezioni azzurre.  “È arrivata la fine anche di questo viaggio… – scrive…
