* EndingFatigue: The [[spoiler:World Cup Arc]] occurs after the team has already won the big game the entire series has been building towards, and is order-of-magnitude shorter and worse-written than what came before. However, the wrap-up, and subsequent DistantFinale at least give everyone their dignity, and serve as an excellent ending to the series.
