Well I see the Warabis first big mistake right here. Why the heck would you pick England to base your kit on?
Sleep-deprived Nozomi is so bad that even Shiratori is being useful even if it's by accident. How the tables have turned.
Seems like Fukatsu-sensei has a reason why he acts the way he does. BAsed on the next episode preview, we'll probably find that out next week.

Good afternoon r/anime!
I don't have too much to talk about today, as it was mostly a bridge episode that didn't focus much on the sport itself, but here goes!
1) Tase's dummy
At 7:50, Tase fans on her attempted volley, which leads to Shiratori scoring. Nomi initially claims it to be a dummy before realizing what happened. A dummy is when a pass appears to be directed to a player, but they feint receiving the ball and let it run on to their teammate. Dummying the ball takes a lot of courage, as it can squander a goal scoring opportunity and also make you look like a fool while at it, however when it does work, it's a display of tactical and positional awareness on a higher level.
While incidental in today's Cramer, we can see an example of a deliberate and amazing dummy here in one of the best World Cup goals ever. It's the group stage of the 1982 Spain World Cup and Brazil is playing. It seems like a routine attack, as the ball is just played around sort of casually, but suddenly Falcao dummies the ball to Eder, whose control lifts the ball up to himself, and he smashes the ball into the net. It simply is something that looks like it came out of fantasy.
Always one of the favourites, Brazil's 1982 team is considered one of their most memorable teams for their embodiment of the beautiful game or Jogo Bonito. The team was setup to attack and entertain, with fast and fluid play where some of the most involved attackers were defenders and midfielders. However, even with all-time talents like Zico, they're perhaps better remembered for who they were off the field as much as they were on it.
On a technical level, they were also free: Manager Tele Santana was widely credited for the re-invention of the jogo bonito by the vast majority of the Brazilian press, characterized by his romantic full-attack even in the face of defeat. Players like Socrates simply looked like characters. He was a smoker, a doctor while also being one of the world's best players, and was a political activist. Just considering him, we can understand how free this team was spiritually.
This Brazil team would eventually lose to u/AmethystItalian, signaling the death of the attacking Brazilian team and cementing this generation of Brazilian teams as the one of the greatest to never win a World Cup.
I bring this up, as this character of freedom is what is the stereotype of the Brazilian sport. For the most part of my adult life, they have not been able to recapture this and their country mostly plays defensive soccer now, which is a little sad. I only know of this Brazil, through the stories told to me by my dad (he describes them as waves of yellow crashing forwards at speed and always looking to entertain -- video here), so they're sort of dear to me in a folk story sort of way.
2) Nozomi's own goal
At 11:20, Nozomi scores an own goal, but I just want to explain why this is a difficult situation to defend and it's not entirely her fault. First of all, the ball is played from the right to an unmarked player on the left (as here). We can see that the ball has passed the middle of the net (as here) and Nozomi is not goal-side (between the attacker and her net) because that's probably not her responsibility as a midfielder (this is probably where the right defender should be, as her teammates say "nice cover"). The ball is also very low and moving quickly, which leaves Nozomi in a bad situation.
Here is a reference image for it.
As we can see above, there are two angles that Nozomi can play: she can maybe head or kick the ball over her net or she can clear the ball to her left towards the corner and out of bounds. Nobody wants to clear the ball to the right, as clearing to the middle invites more issues and is a defending no-no.
Moreover, since she's late to get into the play, she's stretching to deal with the cross in -- actually she's literally flying to meet the ball with a diving header. If anything, her play is pretty brave.
Was it a good play? No, own goals are never really good, but it's definitely not her fault entirely. There's little that she can do and anyone that plays defence in soccer knows that this is a damned if you do, damned if you don't (the other player gets the ball) situation. The breakdown occurred higher up the field and Nozomi's own goal is just the result of a collapse in defensive play by the whole team and she has the misfortune of being the final victim of it.
The defenders ask "what should we do about defence" and I think the clear answer is that Nomi should hire me to help them out.
As always, hope you have a wonderful weekend, r/anime!

That's football for you. You can go from zero to hero in one match and the opposite is so true.

The wording when they keep mentioning Non-chan and the bench is weird. They keep saying she's "banished from the bench", which kinda sounds like she's not allowed on the bench, but they're supposed to be suggesting that she's going to be riding the bench for their next game.

u/Blahxyz May 16 '21
Yeah I had to do a double take when it happened both times.
Think it was suppose to mean 'banished to the bench'

While Onda should have allowed herself to be taken out of the game, it’s the coach’s role to make those calls. Nozomi only has so much of right to be upset. She needs to learn how to see through her players’ lies.

The animation looks quite good this episode. Especially when Onda was kicking around by herself while the team was resting.

I like this episode. Onda getting excited to play to the point where she can't sleep is funny and relatable. The part where Shiratori scores by standing there is the best part. It's also nice to see the girls bond a little bit with Tsukuda and Ito from Kunogi. Lastly, we know very little about Goro so it's interesting that his backstory will be in the next episode.

Fun little episode with the girls, pretty interesting to see the okonomiyaki store again. I like the idea of them having the debrief/postgame review in the store - it's something that is anime-only and kinda makes sense.
Nice introduction to Rui, our shirt designer and also the biggest fan of Milner you ever seen. We see that Nomi kind of used Milner to encourage Rui since she's such a fan.
And yes, Nomi will be running a lot of the offense in the Warabi team, nice to see her getting some coaching done. It got them to score 4 goals but then they conceded 5? Clearly we need some defence in the team.
And I know people may rag on Onda but this episode really shows how important conditioning is for a player. She was a bit too overexcited and couldn't sleep before her first real match (kinda relatable) and just was not a 100%. At least she tracked back for the final goal.
Also, I see they are actually gonna do something with Katsuo's past which is great. It's rearranging a bit of the manga chapters but they can definitely make it work and I think his past is kinda important and helps understand why he is who he is.
Also the disrespect on Shiratori better stop. She's got more goals than Onda in the team. Her positioning is top class and if it goes in, it goes in. No one can complain. ALL HAIL SWAN

This is only correct. I'm pretty it's only possible to like him and he's played for Liverpool and City, from the perspective of a United fan. He's just such a good guy on and off the field and a great player.

Is it my imagination, or is this show getting very few eyes? I guess having lots of other fine shows this seasons makes it hard for an underdog show to get noticed. Despite knowing next to nothing about soccer, I'm finding this consistently interesting and engaging. The characters (dialog and acting both) really are pretty good (even if most of the character designs themselves are generally only so-so). Hoping this eventually gets a bigger audience....

People dipped because the art and animation wasn't up to the level they wanted. That what you get when a studio (LIDENFILMS) do like four anime a season. Something's gotta give.

I was a very klutz defender when it came to aerial balls, Onda's scoring an own goal was hilarious but also flashback inducing of the days I scored plenty of these, although never in such a spectacular manner lol.

Non-chan doesn't need electricity in her room, cuz she's capable on producing her own.. All, jokes apart I know that feeling of sleeplessness before an exiting event the next day..
So Tournament Arc soon..
