The Mighty Shot - S1-E19

Other mistake: Behind Ishizaki on the bench as he incites Tsubasa in the last action of the episode, Manabu's legs and feet do not link correctly (something went wrong in the drawing, he's sockless all of a sudden and the ankles are much wider than the feet). (00:19:25)

The Verification Test - S1-E16

Other mistake: 15 players were picked for the team. Genzo is injured, 11 are playing. Three are MIA with no explanation. Morisaki has to parry 10 shots for every other player, he parries 100 total. Ryo Ishizaki though is still a substitute, so that would mean there's the unexplained absence of even one more team regular.

An Unfair Enemy - S1-E15

Other mistake: Wakabayashi throws the ball to his teammates leading to the hat-trick; the ball in that shot is of the wrong size, almost twice as big as Genzo's head. (00:18:50)

Tsubasa Is Sieged - S1-E14

Other mistake: If Meiwa scored already 10 goals the previous year (when the championship was won by Shuutetsu) it is hard to explain how nobody from Shuutetsu knew about Hyuga, since they were serious contenders. (00:13:40)

Tsubasa Is Sieged - S1-E14

Other mistake: When Nankatsu scores their third goal, several Shimada players (two during Morisaki's passage and then the keeper when he turns around to see the ball into the goal) sport jerseys with the wrong team name, "SIMADA", missing an H. (00:09:30)

The Best Keeper of the Tournament - S1-E25

Other mistake: Nakanishi is giving orders from behind, where, according to the commentator, he has a clear view of all the players. We then have a quasi-POV shot, and due to the peculiar perspective choices of this anime, we can see that from Nakanishi's spot he sees basically nobody, since the players disappear past the horizon.

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)

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)

Fast Game in the Mud - S1-E13

Other mistake: When Genzo browses the coach notes and figures out instantly what should have been obvious to anyone (the opponent never conceded any goal, that is no small detail!), the way the action of the opponent is shown, both attackers were in offside. (00:11:55)

No Easy Way - S1-E12

Other mistake: The same play-by-play commentator covers both the Nankatsu and the Meika matches, happening simultaneously in two different areas of Japan (and with no television coverage...of course, who does live commentary on elementary school matches anyway?).

No Easy Way - S1-E12

Other mistake: During the montage with the victorious march towards the semifinals, a Nankatsu supporter is waving a pure white flag instead of the team one. (00:11:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

No Easy Way - S1-E12

Other mistake: The perspective when Mr. Ozora tells Tsubasa "I'll let you go to Brazil" is wrong; it looks like he's standing right in front of him, but he's on the bleachers. (00:04:50)
