Meh, I felt they could have finished the game in this episode. I like this series´ more realistic approach, but in this game it´s a bit too realistic for my liking. You know, I prefer when there are clear traps with clear results. More obvious. Here, we get to see small influences here and there the more "traps" are revealed, but it doesn´t directly lead to a goal. Guess that´s old-fashioned of me, but, yeah

Well, I hope next episode will conclude the game. Have Natsu score the 3-2 and all´s good. (or have him shoot the ball into the wrong goal for having an outrage )
