WILL THEY JUST PLAY THE DAMN GAME ALREADY? Geez, this anime loves to drag on the most emotionless soccer drama. Play the game, impress everyone, beat everyone, and get married with the childhood friend. It's that simple. I bet you after the game, the next arc will be about "helping that soccer teammate"
Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone

You clearly don't know how sports anime works do you? Most of the time it's about the characters and their predicaments. It's why I get annoyed at how majority of people ignore these shows because they are 'sports'. You don't need to like the sport to enjoy the show.

Agree with velcom here, although of course it does help if you're interested in the sport, but indeed don't expect them to just play soccer matches for tens of episodes without any real story behind it.

Next episode already the match caught me by suprise as well, not dragging at all if anything a bit rushed even, although I am looking forward to it of course, should be good ^^

That was sure rushed! "Okay plot, run like the wind, next episode we got to make this soccer finally happen!" XD But it's still good. xP

And yeah velcom is right, but not only sports anime! Any anime must have likeable characters and good developing of them to be really good. Most of the time at leas I guess. XD

Ok so if the match is in two weeks then what's the point trying to convince the fat guy to play in the match. The guy can't possibly become thin and get in shape in two weeks so how exactly is he gonna play? With that body his gonna be dead tired after playing for 10 minutes.
And if they can't win then it's all over for the year since they won't be able to play in any matches.

In the beginning they told the brother that they were going to walk to school. In the next scene they were taking the bicycles to school. :O

No one was trying specifically to convince Araki to play in that match, just to pick up soccer again in general.

True, totally agree. @Confucius, if you want to watch soccer, go watch NFL or something else.

His brother made Araki so depressed that he became obese. Now will he be able to slim down and play again?
