The Mighty Shot - S1-E19

Character mistake: Rare instance in this anime, a foul is given when four players from Meiwa tackle Tsubasa at once and hook his foot when he successfully evaded them. In truth though, any referee should have blown the whistle already way before, since the four ganged on Tsubasa throwing themselves at him multiple times before that one, each time sticking their leg out without even aiming at the ball - Tsubasa has to literally duck to avoid one of those tackles.

Soccer Is My Dream - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: Ishizaki makes an upbeat comment about Morisaki's performance, but Manabu takes exception. During the exchange, one of the boys in the background has green pants that turn blue and green again. (00:05:30)

Soccer Is My Dream - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: When the sushi chef insult the client on the phone, the one in front of him has been eating and wipes his mouth after the initial surprise. However, as the shot changes, he is watching intently the match. (00:07:00)

Soccer Is My Dream - S1-E20

Other mistake: In the aerial view of the stadium that follows the intermission with the sushi chef and Genzo at his mansion, there are 23 players on the field. One is the referee, you might say. In that case, the view is missing the linesmen. (00:07:20)

Soccer Is My Dream - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: Morisaki makes the interception before Meiwa's number 8. In the reaction shot with the coach and Ishizaki, all of a sudden behind them it's full of people with a rather conspicuous tan who were nowhere to be seen a moment before. (00:15:05)

Soccer Is My Dream - S1-E20

Factual error: It's the first leg of a tournament between elementary school players, and people skip work to see it, the city streets are empty because everyone is home watching it (since it is televised, too!)... That just never happens. It is not a world different from our own where everything is based on the sport (like Pokemon).

No Victory in Semi Final - S1-E21

Other mistake: When Sawada scores, in the reaction shot on the various team members Kisugi is smiling/laughing instead of being angry/worried, and the player who just lost the ball is in the background. (00:10:15)

No Victory in Semi Final - S1-E21

Plot hole: The whole team went into the match, and the tournament, without knowing its rules. They all are totally surprised by the fact that the top 2 teams qualify from each group. Of course, that's quite impossible, especially since there are veterans in the team, Tsubasa is a football fanatic, Misaki is a clever student of the game, and you just don't walk into a tournament you have prepared for and looked forward to for ages without knowing such a basic fact.

The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: The players are celebrating their victory. Urabe and Ishizaki in the middle are celebrating, but Urabe has Taki's teeth in the first shot, and in the second there are two Misakis and a Teppei Kisugi behind them - he should be in front of them. (00:01:40)

The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22

Character mistake: The Tachibana twins' play leading to the second goal is called by the commentator as "on the limit of the offside", but that does not make sense; there are a bunch of players in front of them, it does not come close to being offside. (00:06:50)

Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3

Trivia: International versions change Roberto's message to his coach at San Paulo FC, adding for some reason that he met a girl he fell in love with. This girl is never referenced nor appears, since, well, she does not exist? Roberto mentions that he met Tsubasa instead, who he wants to bring to greatness. (00:12:40)
