Every new episode is better than the previous one. Very underrated anime and it's shame. Manga also is πŸ”₯ can't wait for the next episodes.

As a Hungarian, it was heartwarming to hear the reference to Ferenc Puskás. After Spy x Family, Hungary gets some more spotlight. XD
This one is really special, since IRL Hungary just defeated England to a shocking 0:4 in Nations League - this kind of success did not happen for decades.

Anyway, I enjoyed this series so far a lot, but this is a special cherry on top for me. :)

I wish they actually showed the first half when esperion went down 3-0. Wouldve helped to set the tone of how the players are feeling, instead we just hear it through their words and complaints.

They weren't really having any sort of teamwork in the first half. It was just a messy, chaotic and out-of-sync play.

Props to Aoi for de-escalating the situation in the locker room. Togashi was trying to fan the flames for a while there since he has some kind of rivalry against the promoted players.

Aoi finally understood what he was doing wrong. Coach Nozomi clearly observed this and went ahead to stop the other coach from switching Aoi and Asari out.

Finally, it looks like Aoi and Asari are working together with the same mindset while Kuroda is supporting them.

It was a fucking great episode! So glad to see Aoi's development from a guy who only thought about being the one to score, to a guy who makes decisions and plays with his teammates!

But will they be able to tie up the score in the remaining 5-15 mins?

Hyped for the next episode!!

Great job, Ashito! You almost burned all your brain cells but you finally learned about triangulation and tiki-taka. I'm so proud.

Epic second half. Seeing Ashito clicking with Asari and Kuroda was simply fantastic.

It's the fate of weak teams to serve as nothing but a stage for these characters to develop lol. Aoi finally realizing something he should've ages ago still a bit far-fetched to me, like how he was playing football then for these many years?

Yes! Glorious character development and conflict resolution! What a satisfying high five. It's truly crazy how good a team with good chemistry is. Team work makes the dream work as they say. Didn't that girl compare Fukuda to Jose Mourinho? Well it turns out Jose is actually teaching that high school soccer team given the classic Chelsea park the Bus technique.

I get Aoi isn't good with emotions but hopefully Hana gets her apology soon. I know I keep saying this but she's a real G for showing up after their fight.

for the overall, this anime is good. But i never get so annoyed for watching anime before. The main character actually managed to piss me off. There are so many idiot main character out there. But only this one is really pissed me off. He's so dumb that he dont even know playing soccer is not alone. I mean what the fuck? are you that dumb? there are 11 players on the field and you really want to score all by yourself? fuck off. Fuck the story for making such an idiot main character. Hes ugly and made a girl cried. I want to kill u so bad aoi.

MY BLOOD WAS BOILING AND RUSHING ALL THROUGHOUT MY BODY AND MY HEART WAS PUMPING SO HARD I COULDN'T BREATHE. MY FACE WAS SO HOT MY EYES WATERY I WAS TRYING SO HARD TO KEEP MY SCREAMS TO A MINIMUM (BUT FAILING) LIKE I COULDN'T EVEN SHUT UP OR STOP MYSELF FROM BANGING MY TABLE. I WAS LIKE A WILD MONKEY. I LOVE ANIME THAT GIVE ME SO MUCH THRILLS!!! THAT HIGH FIVE IN THE END?? THAT WAS THE ICING - IT WAS THE BEST LAST SCENE THIS EPISODE COULD'VE GIVEN. HOW COME A SIMPLE HIGH FIVE MAKE ME FEEL SO GOOD AS IF I ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING HUGE IN MY LIFE?! ANIME. A SPORTS ANIME.

Pretty cool. Idk shit about soccer but this basically felt like Aoi learned what it meant to play in a line. Like before he knew he was in a line, but didn't know what that actually meant and/or how you would typically work with your line. Would be nice if the series did like a cut away to a birds eye view of the field to explain certain tactics kinda like Haikyuu did many times to show positions and rotations and such.

Aoi finally realized what playing football is about.

The high five in the end was extremely satisfying.

they started scoring because Kuroda finally opened his eyes and Aoi realized how to pass a ball to his teammates(jk)

After binging TF out of blue lock, this anime is so refreshing. I love, love the natural progression of progress, the teamwork when Aoi finally gets it. What a satisfying show.

I'm holding out hope that surely this time we'll see Aoi grow some as a character and not just learn a little bit more about Soccer.

This is an amazing sports anime masterpiece, which opened up and increased my knowledge, especially in terms of football, now I as an observer found Ashito in Trent Alexander Arnold (an English footballer) playing for the Liverpool club, before I didn't really mind it, but after seeing this anime I feel that my view of football is the same as the character "Anri" in this anime which is oriented towards strengthening the midfield, and now I know how strong the influence of a wing defender who can play at different levels is. Currently, even according to what is in this anime, Liverpool and Trent Alexander Arnold show their fangs with the playing style shown in this anime, so in my opinion "this is a very amazing anime, which can change your view of football, 10/10 "I hope to deliver the next season as soon as possible. Thank You.

I just hope the drama between these kids is done. That said I'm glad Aoi is learning that it's a team sport and he can't just focus on himself.
