So i decided to watch this show, having not read the manga! Overall i thought the episode did a good job of introducing us to the main character, though i still have to keep watching to really get to know Him! I dont think you need to be a soccer-fan to enjoy this, as the story and characters is the most ingaging so far, expecially the main character's relationship with his mother!
