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)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

The Provocation - S1-E11

Other mistake: The tryout match happens on a field with no audience at all. Hyuga just lies there on a bench without anyone saying anything to him. Both the coach and Misaki know who he is, but nobody noticed him when he was a hugely conspicuous presence. Of course his interference in the match is pure anime silliness; nobody bats an eyelid during his invasion, and he fetches the ball from the forward unnoticed, coming from the opposite goal area.

An Unfair Enemy - S1-E15

Factual error: Wakabayashi is seriously injured and everyone is aware of that and acknowledges it, but no substitution is made. That's criminally irresponsible, especially with the team being in the lead. The referee himself couldn't ignore this in a real match, since the player couldn't even perform a goal kick.

A Long Way to Brazil - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When the coach of the new Nankatsu team approaches the teacher, she picks the sheet with the players list and her left arm is not shown. In the wider angle the arm is right at the bottom of the sheet. (00:05:10)

Sammo

The Last Chance - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Sanae is crying and wiping her tears when Tsubasa thanks her, she is happy smiling and clinging to the railing in the background when Roberto compliments Tsubasa, and again crying and wiping in the next shot. (00:21:45)

Sammo

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Factual error: If we had to go by the pre-kickoff aerial shot, Shuutetsu is playing with a 2-3-5, which is definitely not a normal soccer formation - and we never see during the actual play anything close to the team having 5 forwards. Also, the linesmen are infield instead of behind the sidelines. (00:17:05)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Other mistake: Shuutetsu's sweeper Shingo Takasugi is the victim of an obvious coloring error during his introduction, and as he kicks the ball from the defense he is shown wearing the purple and blue uniform of the goalkeeper instead of the teal and red of the team jersey. Some international dubs even try to cover the mistake making up a line about him being a substitute keeper in absence of Genzo (but his jersey changes intermittently). (00:08:55)

Sammo

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Other mistake: Look at the bleachers when Ryo tells to the team that they need to examine Shuutetsu's playing; there are 11 players wearing the jersey, plus Tsubasa who is off to watch it running by the railing. Too many for the size of their team. (00:07:25)

Sammo

No Easy Way - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: The finalists are announced; look at the Shimada club. Besides the bad design of their shirts with the name handwritten in western characters that clashes with the anatomy, they are in different poses at the cut. (00:13:25)

Sammo

No Easy Way - S1-E12

Other mistake: Izawa's ball for Tsubasa has an impossible trajectory, coming down diagonally to the left after ascending diagonally to the right without curving. (00:07:50)

Sammo

No Easy Way - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Urabe tackles the opponent from the side, but in the next shot he's belly down turned 180° compared to the tackle. (or the ball changed direction in a similar fashion). (00:07:30)

Sammo

Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3

Other mistake: Spurred by his new deskmate, Tsubasa juggles the ball and sends it with a header right onto the empty seat. Pretty sure it's forbidden in any school to just come to class with a football, but besides that; look at how the football is in view. How tall would the chair have to be for that to happen? Whoever sits on it has no room to put their legs under the desk for sure. (00:10:35)

Sammo

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Factual error: Genzo challenges Tsubasa to a rematch, this time in a regular "90 minutes match." They are elementary school students, their matches last only about 40 minutes.

Sammo

An Unfair Enemy - S1-E15

Trivia: Probably as a joke from an animator, there's a pig in attendance in the stadium. It appears in one shot, by Roberto Hongo when Tsubasa's mom calls for a hat-trick. (00:18:30)
