Both shows follow a singular "ace" that progresses through tournaments and becomes increasingly better at soccer. Whistle is a little more on the realistic side (and also more childish), whereas Wild Striker has a few "super" moves, but is also more fun and for a slightly older audience. Young kids = Whistle, Older crowd = wild striker.

Both sports anime. Both male leads are self professing 'genius' at the sports, and have about the same character. The leads' group of friends even seem similar!
Similar plot but Hungry Heart is way better IMO.
main guy not liked at first and both are determined to lead the team to victory
Both are about football and can also be categorized as 'high school anime', something the creator of this series purposely left out of Captain Tsubasa. It deals with relationships (both romantic and friendship), growing and learning about football as the series goes.

Well.. they are both about soccer. Aoki Densetsu Shoot is older though. But I gotta say Wild Striker is a lot more fun to watch.
I always knew Hungry Heart and Captain Tsubasa had some relation. Later, I found out it was created by the same person! Hungry Heart is an anime I totally loved and still love as football is my favorite sport! It's story shows courage and determination like you'll never see it! Totally recommended! ^^
Both heavily focus on shounen and comedy. The male protagonists both start off hopeless as they are plunged into a new world (Kyosuke with Soccer and Luffy in the Grand Line). However, they grow and gain new friends and rivals along their journey.
Both male protagonists are a "genius" in their specified sport. However, they start off hopeless and grow with each game and each new encounter. Both of them are also very similar in character (hot-headed, dedicated, etc).
Character development is evident in both but Major emphasizes this element more with each season (6 in total) as you see the protagonist Goro grow from a baby to an adult.
Both contain similar themes and have a mutual love interest. If you enjoy the sport, you'll love the anime.
Soccer anime!!!

its similar but different
Both have comedy and serious focus in soccer.
Both have a hotheaded protagonist with superior strength and just loves beating the crap out of those who piss them off.
Though they do have a totally different plot (One being a quasi-teacher of a class full of delinquents and the other a student and his football club life)
But seriously, those two lead characters are like reincarnation of each other in different animes! The way they talk, behave, troubles others, and how they use their superior strength to solve any problems they face.
So the point is, if you idolize one of the protagonist in those anime, you'll surely love the other as well!
both try to achieve their dream to become a professional soccer/tennis player and try to lead their team to win the national. also both have to overcome their difficult pf facing many different teams. both player are very talented and have many potential to become stronger....
Their all about sports.. they both reaching their goals through hard training... :D
Both sports animes about an immensely gifted son and all the effort, work and sacrifice it takes to live up to his own potential. (I put the recommendation on S2 of Major because of the age similarity, but you should start at S1 if you're going to!)
both soccer animes
