The Nutmeg

Putting the ball through someone’s legs. A soccer skill of the highest order. A series of highlight clips of the classic, difficult, risky, and when it’s completed and successful, an incredible soccer move that elicits a number of well earned oohs and ahhs.  The nutmeg.  See for yourself…Here’s the some of the best nutmegs you’ll ever see. Watch Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, De Bruyne and other greats show you the art of the meg. Yes, the nutmeg is a skill that can be learned with practice. I think the first nutmeg in the video below is probably my favorite. The defender is sort of dumbfounded.
