* Kimishita and Ooshiba blur the line between this and FoeYay. As much as they usually argue and threaten to punch each other in the face, they've known each other since middle school, and it shows; their dynamic meanders between subtly caring VitriolicBestBuds and very unsubtly caring about each other while bickering LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. They also display a lot of tropes usually associated with romance manga, such as [[spoiler:the ForgottenFirstMeeting that has kid Kimishita watching Ooshiba and being completely entranced]], their first proper meeting in middle school where Kimishita punches Ooshiba in the face, him getting {{Tsundere}} when asked about why he refers to Ooshiba by first name, them [[NotADate meeting up for ice cream]] [[spoiler:to talk to their main rival from middle school]] or the way they trust each other unconditionally, despite insulting each other 24/7. Ooshiba in particular also seems a little jealous towards the respect and admiration Kimishita has towards Mizuki, in addition to being envious of the other being TheAce.

* [[FoeYay Mizuki and Indou]]. They both take their rivalry very seriously, and while Mizuki doesn't seem to like Indou much as a person, Indou is very clingy towards him, has somehow gotten his hands on his number without Mizuki knowing, and gets annoyed when Mizuki doesn't answer his calls.

* Mizuki and Tsukushi. As soon as Tsukushi joins the team Usui instantly notes that Mizuki looks happy to have [[BirdsOfAFeather found someone who's like him]], Mizuki draws [[YouRemindMeOfX parallels]] between his first-year self and Tsukushi and admires Tsukushi for persevering where his past self could only feel bad about being weak, and tries to mentor him as best as he can. Tsukushi, meanwhile, looks up to Mizuki, goes to him for help, puts up with his... ''odd'' ways of explaining (and even tries to respond the same way), and is grateful that the upperclassman has taken him under his wing.

Added DiffLines:
* In spades between Tsukushi and Kazama.
** It starts in the very first chapter in the manga, with Kazama telling Tsukushi his courage moved his heart two minutes into knowing each other.
** Both manga and anime have Kazama catching Tsukushi in his arms as he collapses after finishing his running exercise and blushing when he tells him he's been saving up his cleats for playing together.
** Tsukushi also really likes playing soccer with Kazama and being around him in general, and Kazama gets easily [[BerserkButton offended]] when anyone talks bad about Tsukushi.
** There's also the two of them sharing a room during the training camp, Kazama's tendency to [[CuddleBug hug]] Tsukushi at every occasion, and the infamous scene where Kazama hugs Tsukushi during his first match and the latter stays in his arms (with a hand on his chest, no less) for the entire conversation, looking very much like a couple on a movie poster.
** Later taken UpToEleven when Kazama [[spoiler:thanks his mother for giving birth to him because he could meet Tsukushi that way]].
** And ''then'' there's that scene where Tsukushi's mom brings up Kazama and Tsukushi describes him as follows:
-->"Kazama-kun is really awesome. He's cool-looking, and can be depended on, and he's funny. And he brightens everything around him, and he's gentle. And regarding soccer he's a real genius!"
* Kimishita and Ooshiba blur the line between this and FoeYay. As much as they usually argue and threaten to punch each other in the face, they've known each other since middle school, and it shows; their dynamic meanders between subtly caring VitriolicBestBuds and very unsubtly caring about each other while bickering LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. They also display a lot of tropes usually associated with romance manga, such as [[spoiler:the ForgottenFirstMeeting that has kid Kimishita watching Ooshiba and being completely entranced]], their first proper meeting in middle school where Kimishita punches Ooshiba in the face, him getting {{Tsundere}} when asked about why he refers to Ooshiba by first name, them [[NotADate meeting up for ice cream]] [[spoiler:to talk to their main rival from middle school]] or the way they trust each other unconditionally, despite insulting each other 24/7. Ooshiba in particular also seems a little jealous towards the respect and admiration Kimishita has towards Mizuki, in addition to being envious of the other being TheAce.
* Tsukushi gets a little with Narukami in episode 7. When Tsukushi is asked to show his legs (when the referee really means his cleats), Narukami is smiling and blushing a little.
* Mizuki and Usui, as the TeamDad and TeamMom of Seiseki. They're very close, with Usui often acting as Mizuki's CloudcuckoolandersMinder and doing the talking for him because the latter can't express himself with words well, something Mizuki is very grateful for. Usui can also read Mizuki better than everyone else, knowing exactly what mood he's in when everyone else is at a loss.
* Mizuki and Kimishita, with the latter greatly respecting and admiring the former in spite of his [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} quirks]], worrying that [[spoiler:he's not good enough to support him and falling into a mini-HeroicBSOD over that]], and the two of them having promised each other to get stronger and go to nationals together. Kimishita's feelings towards him are also very reminiscent of a crush, wanting to be the one that enables him (almost jealously so), not knowing what to call his feeling and having a massive tendency to blush around him in general.
* [[FoeYay Mizuki and Indou]]. They both take their rivalry very seriously, and while Mizuki doesn't seem to like Indou much as a person, Indou is very clingy towards him, has somehow gotten his hands on his number without Mizuki knowing, and gets annoyed when Mizuki doesn't answer his calls.
* Indou and Narukami. They bicker LikeAnOldMarriedCouple but they're nigh inseparable, call each other by their first names and live together, and backstory reveals that [[spoiler:Indou gave Narukami all the confidence he has today, and Narukami gave Indou a place to call home]].
