While Supa Strikas' focuses on Soccer/Football, the series seems to enjoy making reference to other media.
Episode Names
Many of the episodes titles border on Incredibly Lame Pun
- Dooma's Day seems to be a deliberate reference to the Superman character Doomsday.
- Several to Arnold Schwarzenegger movies:
- Led Steppin
- Spaceballs
- El Sound of Silencio
- One Super League Under the Sea
- Dribbler on the Roof

- Man in the Iron Tank Mask: The "Catman" TV show is obviously based on the 60s Batman with the "Na na na" of the theme song even sang by Mac the commentator.
- Licence to Coach
- Cheer and Loafing in Las Vegas
- The Brislovian Candidate
- Fly Hard
- Pitch Imperfect
- The name of Hydra's Floating Stadium's operator in "Depth Charge" is Ursula.
- In "How To Get A Header in the Super League", after Shakes' training montage with the eccentric heading coach El Arientte is over (complete with a very legally distinct cover of "Eye Of the Tiger"). El Arientte admonishes him celebrating at the top of Pirate Tower by asking him if he thinks he's some "famous boxer from the movies".
- The show seems to like its Star Wars references:
- In "El Matador Finds Himself", the holographic message of El Matador created by Coach to convince the real El Matador caps off with "Help me El Matador, only I am my only hope".
- In "How To Get a Header in the Super League", during Shakes training with the Battering Ram. He asks if he isn't a little too short to be a headering coach.
- In the Cold Open for "Total Replay" when Shakes strikes for the goal despite El Matador asking to be passed the ball. Matadoe disparagingly calls him "Han Solo".
- Big Bo lives in a massive mansion, has a butler named Albert, and also has a secret cave underneath the mansion named the "Goalie Cave". A very clearcut reference to a very famous DC Billionaire Superhero. Just without the dark brooding angst and emotional baggage of deceased parents.
