Akkutsu and Kuribayashi sticks out so much, I once thought their personality would be insufferable but I guess football prowess speaks more volume. I like it now.
I wonder if the fullback position being a 'hole' is basically an achilles heel or simply 'one step behind from perfection'. The latter seems more logical since Team A looks so competent that it's really hard to see them struggle. Can't wait for the games.
