Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Character mistake: Tsubasa takes part in the 200m dash because, as Ryo says "the runner of our team got injured." The runner? There are many athletes taking part in the contest, but both come from just 2 teams. Also needless to say, the race would have also been invalidated, and yet Tsubasa who showed up with no permission and kicking a ball is proclaimed the winner. (00:07:25)

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)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Other mistake: Roberto meets Genzo at the shrine in the early morning, and Genzo is pumped up and ready to go to the match. In another scene, Roberto is at the stadium hanging out on his own, but Genzo still hasn't got to the stadium and will arrive only much later when the match is about to begin.

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Taro Misaki is telling the Hitlerian groundskeeper that he'll go watch the game for a bit despite his gloomy outlook, his shoes are blue, but they are yellow/brown in the rest of the episode. (00:04:30)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa once more denies Kisugi the chance to shoot to goal, his tackle (which would have been a foul anyway) sweeps off his left leg or his right leg depending on the shot. (00:07:30)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Other mistake: Masaru apologizes for the blunder (he butted heads with a teammate). Tsubasa cheers the rest of the team; look at the goalkeeper. He's wearing the same uniform as the rest of the players instead of his red jersey. (00:08:05)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Masaru parries with his face the shot that beat the keeper. He does so being close to the left post, but when the scene is over he's in the middle of the goal. (00:09:40)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When the Shuutetsu team are doubting themselves, the players look towards Genzo. During his close-up when he ponders "It's not only because of Tsubasa that we aren't scoring", his logo is missing from the cap. (00:10:30)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Genzo is beaten by Tsubasa's corner kick, but the post denies him. The reaction shot on Sanae shows her with a flag that is much smaller than the one she was holding in the other shots. Same when that same angle is shown again, like after the goal. (00:16:40 - 00:21:50)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Other mistake: In the last shot of the team cheering for Mr. Oozora's promise of a meaty treat, the 11 members of the team are all wearing the same jersey and shorts, including the keeper. (00:18:55)

Sammo

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Other mistake: When Tsubasa's dad spurs him before the second half telling him that he hates losers, there are trees in the background. He is in the stadium with everyone else. (00:19:35)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After conceding, Nankatsu moves forward on a kick-off. Tsubasa, Ryo Ishizaki and another nondescript player are the ones advancing, but the generic guy is quickly replaced by Okawa. (00:03:45)

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)
