The Nutmeg
A Nutmeg is a technique or move you use to play the ball through the opponent's legs. A Tunnel and a Panna are other words to describe a Nutmeg. In Holland, the best street soccer players compete in a Panna-knockout. This is a tournament with a small soccer ball where two players play against each other. The player that Nutmegs the other, wins. Performing a Nutmeg on another player, is considered a humiliation for the other. It also proves your own skills. That�s why a lot of young amateur soccer players try to Nutmeg each other. A Nutmeg can be executed in many ways. I�m going to learn you the most basic Nutmeg. You can customize it yourself. I�ll add variations on the basic Nutmeg later on.
