Both Wild Striker and Whistle are about washed-up soccer players who enjoy the sport, but suck at it, so they work hard and improve. Both series depict their struggles and efforts.

Wild Striker and Prince of Tennis may be about different sports but they are both about a boy trying to reach his goal by facing off with stronger opponents until he reaches the top. Both have a light comical side and are a tad unrealistic.

eppie

For those who enjoy a cocky main character in a sports anime who already knows he's been blessed with talent, Prince of Tennis and Wild Striker have the main character you are looking for. I usually watch sports anime that involve the main character discovering they have talent in a sport, but these two anime were still a very nice contrast to what I usually watch.

Captain Tsubasa

Both show a persons journey into becoming one of the best high school soccer players around. These series also both involve alot of heavy soccer action, perfect for the anime and soccer fan.

Fuma

Both of these series are about epic battles in soccer and how 3 guys teamwork can help develop a team despite differences, they also share a bit about rules and regulations for those who don't know much about the game. Both as a whole share great characters that develop greatly and a little romance and comedy well placed to keep you wanting more. The last aspect that will make you love both is how they both end leaving you with the hunger for more.

Slam Dunk

Slam Dunk main image

This is the fantastically popular sports anime that single-handedly restarted the genre! It follows tensai basketman Sakuragi Hanamichi as he takes up basketball to impress a cute girl, and never walks free again. He may not be as good as he thinks he is, but he might just be good enough to help Shohoku to the national level… but then again, the competition has talent of their own, and an equal need to win. Don’t expect Sakuragi, or indeed Shohoku, to win them all.

Both Slam Dunk and Wild Striker are sports series in which the lead character starts out rebellious and stuck on his ways, but later matures through the love he has for the sport.
