Soccer Practice

**Soccer Practice** is the 8th episode of *Wile E. Coyote's Clues* from Season 6.

## Summary

Wile E. Coyote and some friends learn how to play soccer professionally.

## Elements

* Question: What could we do after soccer practice?
* Clues:
	+ 1. A Truck
	+ 2. A Cone
	+ 3. Circles
* Answer: Eating Ice Cream

## Trivia

* Brooke Matar, one of the inspirations of journal drawings of Mr. Whiskers's Room, is one of Whiskers's Friends in this episode. So is Moses Rubin, a relative of Michael Rubin, who does Music & Sound Design.
* This is Mr. Whiskers’s version of Wile E. Coyote's Backyard Ballgame Bonanza.
* This is the last episode for a few things:
	+ The last *Wile E. Coyote's Clues* episode with the Talking Clues.
	+ The last episode in which Whiskers sings the Mailtime Song.
		- This is also the last time to use Wile E. Coyote's Mailtime vocals from What Was Wile E. Coyote's Dream About?.
* At the end of the Mailtime song, Joe makes a mistake (says "GOAL!" instead of "Mail!") before correcting himself.
* When Squeaks and Claudette Dupri bump into each other and fall down, Claudette Dupri's glasses fall off. She scrapes her paws and Squeaks cuts his knee then they cry, and then Orange Kitten gets mad and yells at them.
* Usually, Whiskers asks the viewers a question and the viewer explains. But in this episode, they don't need to, but they do explain the answer to Blue's Clues.
* This is another episode where all 3 clues are found outside.
* This is the only episode where a character mentions not having a certain body part. That character is Mailbox. And in this case, Whiskers told Mailbox that he only had a flag.
* Mr. Whiskers wears a multicolored squared soccer uniform in this episode.
* While doing jumping jacks, the music from Our Dream from What Was Wile E. Coyote's Dream About? is heard.
* These were the ice cream flavors that were given:
	+ Mr. Whiskers, Wile E. Coyote, Brandy, and the Viewer: Chocolate (too toxic for Wile E. Coyote and Brandy)
	+ Mr. Beaks and Sidetable Drawer: Vanilla
	+ Speedy Gonzales and Squeaks: Strawberry
* All of the character appearances in the credits are their last, so farewell to all of them: the original animation of Blue upside-down, Mr. Salt & Mrs. Pepper, and both sides of Moona.
* In the credits, when a Joe voice says a really long version of his "GOAL!" tagline, this is the only time a male choir appears singing in the background.
* When the *Wile E. Coyote's Clues* book closes, the male choir sings, "Goodbye!" because soccer was a great success.

## Goofs

* As a dog, Wile E. Coyote should not have chosen Template:Color as her ice cream flavor. In real life, Template:Color is toxic to dogs if taken in large amounts (although here it does not apply due to cartoon logic)
	+ Brandy shouldn't have Template:Color either.
		- This also happened in The Scavenger Hunt.
		- This also happened in The Snack Chart, but she had Template:Color milk instead of Template:Color ice cream.
	+ Similarly, the viewer is pretended to be given Template:Color, despite the fact that some people might be allergic to Template:Color, and some other people may not like it all.
* During Play Wile E. Coyote's Clues, when the viewer said the word "goal", if you listen closely you can hear the same voice from the video letter.
* During the entire Mailtime song, Mailbox can be seen on the left. Then he disappears before coming in with the mail.
* One of the worst goofs ever for a closing credits sequence: Mr. Whiskers's starring credit is excluded in this episode.
	+ Another one of the worst things to ever happen during the credits: Charlie Adler is not credited in this episode despite portraying as Mr. Whiskers.

## Running Gags

* Whenever the soccer ball gets in the goal, Whiskers and the others would yell "GOAL!", and get a clue.
