Another sign of the burgeoning status of football (or soccer) in Japan. In a few years time, it might even supplant baseball.

I think it already has. Nice to see we're getting more football anime. I hope some time soon they continue the Captain Tsubasa series, the grandaddy of football anime.

I recommend it, it is more realistic than Captain Tsubasa, which is not a bad thing but Captain Tsubasa is more 'fun' - Some can argue, and I think it is reasonable argument, if one wants realistic football they'd watch real Football, we got Classico 2nite.
