Predators had one more game (and won). And there's finally the debut of Tagi Sugiyama. It seems, though, the three Furuya brothers are still in the spolight... for, obviously, the oddest reasons

Next episode: ...and it seems that this spotlight on the Furuya brothers will be again reinforced

Both father and the ref probably think that triplets are selfish and disrespectful to their opponents

I think the triplets still keep it within the boundaries. Yeah they do sometimes ridicule their opponents by their plays but there's nothing all to wrong with it. Not like they directly insult the opponents.

And respect for the coach. Probably would've done completely the same. He knew his team would take the win and just kept his patience to put the referee in place. The complete time he was annoying me with his hypocrisy and I thought if it was me I'd ask for the video of the triplets father to put a formal complaint to the football board to show how nasty his refereeing was with not whistling a red card (intentionally elbowing) and other rough plays by the opponent while giving imaginary yellow cards to my own side. So kudos to the series and coach for actually doing it.

Man, that referee is ridiculous. The coach hit the nail on the head when the game was over.

That referee was childish. The Furuyas didn't even do anything wrong. Yes they like to taunt and maybe play a bit "ungentlemen-like" but that's how they are. The other team was worse.

I LOVE the triplets so much. Delinquents? No way! They thought of their team too, so they're not selfish. :D

I'm content that the coach will send a complaint. I would've been mad if nothing was done about it afterwards.

Waiting on the next episode!

Wow, the Furuyas are cool! Wish they would have shown more of Aoto and that other boy. He seems to play or start playing Basketball?

That referee can count himself lucky his in Japan. If he pulled that shit here people will be punching the shit out of him before the game was over.

I still don't get all this ungentlemanly bullshit. There is nothing wrong with how they play. If you can even use your opponents body then is something you should feel proud off being able to do not something to be ashamed.

This episode was pretty good. Kota, Ryuuji, Ouzou ftw!The referee was dumb but so glad everyone managed.


The opponents had awkward faces though...

The referee was such an ass. Glad the Furuyas and later the coach owned him. There's nothing completely wrong with how they play. It's all a part of the game. Wonder what kind of problem their father has with it though.

It's surprising how much you can hate such an unimportant character like the referee. (And how he got owned by the Furuyas and the coach)

The triplets were great this episode, and I'm glad the Coach told them to play their own way. I would of done the same thing.

Well, has been quite some time, since an anime character made me as angry, as this pathetic referee. That was wrong in so many friggin ways. Guess he's unhappy with his life, as some no name referee for elementary kids' matches, that he has to pull crap like this.
It was so satisfying to see the Furuyas and Hanashima pwning him.

Love the triplets.

Another great episode. I enjoyed this match a lot. However the referee was a prick, I'm glad he got owned in the end. Looking forward to next episode.

The triplets may be delinquents but i dont see how the oppnents were any better , pushing people down . Accepting such an unfair decision. Thats seems ungentlemanly to me too .Im surprised no one other than Kota blew their tops though .

The referee was really a jerk. At least he could only bully Furuyas and not poor Erika. Not cool man. But I have to say that he actually made this match pretty interesting. Instead of just having tough opponents, they had to deal with the referee too, which meant that they had to be extra careful.

Love the triplets, hate the referee. That was so biased. I gotta read up on soccer rules...But honestly, I don't see what's the big deal with own goals if you can make them. It's a skill, not cheating.

Poor calls from the ref. The second time Erika got knocked down should have been a yellow. That elbow a red to me or at the very least a yellow.

The team overcame adversity in players and strength. 11 vs 12(The ref being the 12th player). The Furuya's really showed him how it's done. They went with that own goal again, which by looking at the preview episode title the own goal will be a focus.

the referee is really a monkey ??
things like that happen all the time ??
example hitting the ball on a opponent body for getting the ball to the side line or for corner. Only for schwalbes and hand goal is really unacceptable .

Ha! Serves the referee right. His sad attempt at playing the 'hero' backfired on him.

As much as I love the twins especially Kota.... It makes me wonder how people can't tell them apart. Their shoes and numbers fam @_@
