Things that are overlooked about the second selection:
The fact that Naruhaya ranked 38 (? Something like that, can't remember properly now) after the first phase, where you had to score 100 goals in 90 minutes, with the difficulty rising every 30 minutes. Among Team Z members, he was one of the highest ranked, and no one talks about it.
The fact that Shidou ranked only 111 on that same phase, lower than Igaguri, who ranked 108. I'm going to assume he was just bored as fuck and dragging it out, because there's no way...
The fact that Raichi, Gagamaru and Wanima, who formed a team once they were all in the second phase (Raichi was the last one to arrive of them three), as far as I know none had yet picked a team until then, and their trio reached the end unscathed, with two other players obviously. Also, Tanaka and Kyohei (that his name? Forgot how you spell it) looking at them like "How tf did we pass with these guys? How did they win against our former teams to begin with?!" (Makes me wonder who even was their teammates before. I just know that must have been chaotic as hell)
The fact Shidou's team includes Igaguri. Makes me wonder if they teamed up from the beginning or if one of them was picked as they went, and I doubt it was Igaguri that was picked bro, if that was the case.
There's probably more, but this is all for now
