So the fact that we got two yellow cards this episode is a good thing in the overall scheme, but yeah the fact that we have yet to have one 24 episodes in.... Seriously there should be penalties flying constantly.

Also would of rather Tsubaki make a goal instead of getting another card. While Hauer's was stupid it is really pointless to pull the same trick twice in the same episode.

Soooooooo slow, almost nothing happens in this episode. Also, I don't understand how Hauer didn't take a red card, there's no way any refereee could give him only a yellow here. Does Japanese football have different rules than the rest of the world ? Anyway only two episodes remaining we'll probably see ETU's win vs Osaka in the last ep and then that's over. Well, I'll not miss it for sure.

Run Tsubaki, run.

Osaka's falling apart in both offense and defense after Kubota's substitution and Hiraga being out of stamina, ETU definitely will go all out in the last 15 minutes left.

also wandering about the real reason Tanba playing in the left side-back for Kyo

This was the first exciting episode for me in a long time. The game is finally going somewhere, and Gino (the only player I actually like) had a lot to do with it. Not a fan of the "He's like the wind" stuff, since I think of Dirty Dancing, but whatever.

so gino really did have a plan all along!

You can't judge fouls by looking how much damage one player inflicts on another. Normally if one player hustles another player like Hauer did, it would be a justified red card because of violent conduct

Tsubaki, wahh. I hope he doesn't get hurt being pulled down.

yep yep. it shld have been a straight red cos hauer brought down kuro although the ball wasnt even anywhere near them in the first place. if cards are based on dmg done then rooney shldnt have that red card in e 2006 world cup against portugal; ronaldo didnt even fall down that time.

and more gino and tsubaki pls <3

So Tatsumi's plan works even better than he expected, partly because " Kuroda has a talent of irritating people." On another note, what happens if Tsubaki made a goal while being pulled down by Hiraga? I don't know much about football/soccer, but would that give them a goal AND a penalty kick?

No. The goal would be valid, that´s all.

WTF Hiraga. Not cool!

Also, Gino. What a badass.

Interesting plan, but it's a bit tacky LOL. Getting fouls, making opponents tired, sending fake passes, etc.

GINOOOOO YOU DEVIL, YOU. I love you.
Holy shit, Tatsumi. I love you too.

I'm really, really enjoying this match. I don't mind that it's taking up so many episodes. I feel that the tension they build up in this match is appropriate for the long duration. Two episodes left! Go, ETU!

I wonder who would Gino be in real life. Pirlo? CR7?
He's got SWAG.

Tsubaki had a great chance of offense and that guy fouls him. Shouldn't that be a red card since he was coming from behind and pulling his shirt?

So Tatsumi's tactic is the same as in the first training match between ETU's players? Didn't make much sense then, but makes even less sense here as their opponents are obviously playing attacking football so there defensive lline would be positioned around the halfway line, make the distance the defensive midfielder would have to cover to reach Gino's passes fairly short and shouldn't tire out a professional football player as is shown here.

tatsumi's plan finally get his way, hope it would lead to their win.

the annoying thing though, is that once the general idea said,everyone has to repeat it like a broken robot, and the whole analyse part could be much more fast pace.

and more of that, the whole fans part, not only here but in the anime, feeling like total filler, really making me less liking the anime together with the irritating pace...

and what with osaka's players? first huer and now hiraga?
