* AcademicAthlete: In one episode the Kickers play against a team where ''all'' the players are also academic geniuses. They use their intelligence (and computers) to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, and strategies of all members of their rival teams. By contrast the Kickers, because of their dedication to sport, don't have enough time to study and are all mediocre students (except Hongo who gets good grades and is also an AcademicAthlete).

The series was quite successful in Germany and Austria, not so much in Italy, Spain, and France where it was largely overshadowed by Tsubasa's popularity. It's worth noting that, despite the many similarities with ''Captain Tsubasa'', there are also some notable differences. Here the main character is ''not'' an InvincibleHero, it's slightly more realistic and there are less ImprobableSportsSkills (if you ignore the trio of players from the rival team), and unlike ''Captain Tsubasa'' where everything is played seriously, this is more of a light-hearted comedy about a group of teenagers who happen to love soccer even if they are not exactly champions. And while soccer is their primary interest, there are occasional subplots about their personal life (and sometimes, love life).
