    fav move

    Sup,
    My fav moves to pull on a defender outdoor is double scissors starting with my left foot then right then go left, or single scissor nutmeg. This past indoor year i have learned to pop the ball over my head and over the defenders, but that only happens 3 out of 5 times, hopefully ill get it outdoor this year.

    start a move forward and slip em with the ol' nutmeg the second their leg starts to move. Works well on defenders of just about any quality, especially the first time! The second time they may not be so happy about it.

    anytime i can meg someone twice with only 2 touches i love it.
    i think my fav is when im shielding someone off and my shoulder is in their chest so i pull the ball back with my instep push it through their legs, run to it and meg them again with a fake pass or something.
    splitting 2 ppl w/ a 360 is nice too, dont/cant do that one often tho.

    Here's my all time favorite move...but it's really hard to describe so bear with me...

    Roll-over with the right foot, while the ball is moving, turn your left shoulder towards the defender and bring your left foot over the ball (it should be going through your legs). Now, quickyly turn to your left and stop the ball with your right foot, then do a Maradonna (take the ball with your right foot, turn in mid-air and take it again with your left) But instead of letting it roll to the inside of your left foot, roll it through your legs with some speed on it. It should go through the defender's legs...in style :D. You just gotta get the right distance between you and the defender.

    Another one I love to do is fake like your'e going to pass with your right (or left) foot and hit it with the inside of your heel. Then turn your toe in to stop the ball. Very convincing move. The same can be done with the outside of the heel, but it is much harder.

    my favorite move

    its got to be the nutmeg when your back is to the opponent. I have never tried to rainbow someone in a game but maybe when we are really whooping someone I will try it :). I like to pull foot fakes from time to time, like running past the ball and then running back to it.

    Not really a trick, but I did a nice wee move a couple of weeks ago.

    I was quite a way out from goal with only one defender between me and the goal. A ball came in from the right which was slightly behind me, so as the defender ran forward, I ficked the ball over his head wiith the first touch using the outside of my right foot, whilst the ball was still behind me. I tried to be too flash and half-volley the ball into the net with my left foot but unfortunately it went just over. I really wish I had taken my time now cos that would have been a beauty.

    It depends on the situation most of all. Sometimes a simple cut will work the best or an inside outside. I try not to show a lot of tricks to early into the game because you may need to have that extra card up your sleeve late on to steal the match.

    I use a regular stepover and scissor with my left and right foot a lot and the Ronaldo roll and step over with my right to my left while in full stride.

    I can do a pretty smooth Cryuff with both feet either as a cut back or a "pull" Cryuff, I like the 360 Maradona turn alot too if I am playing with my back to the goal as a target striker or in an advanced mid role to split more than one defender.

    I have a lot of little foot fakes to open up space for shots in a crowded area as well, like a little double touch, and a faked roll back that I use after I have already shown the defender my roll back once before. I started using Kanu's fake shot mostly in indoor where you fake a rip, stop the ball then move past the player who ducks away, its kind of funny but a dick move at the same time thats why I don't do it too much.

    damn, I hope you guys don't actually think about the fancy moves before you execute! LOL

    Seriously I think Jc18star was spot on when he said it depends on the situation. Personally in game situations, I use a lot of double stepovers and then usually cut inside with the outside of my right boot.

    If I really want to get nasty, I'll entice by doing a single inside/outside stepover repeatedly about 4 times each stepover and then change pace then preferrably cut-back and send in a cross.

    Other than that I just wing it. I put on moves when time and space permits. You know, guys are talking about moves that they will do, what about moves that you guys won't try? C'mon be honest!

    I now play a central-midfield role using as much lot skill as I can wherever possible. It usually works, as I spend most of my time working on my individual skill and touch. Although I'm not exactly quick. I must admit, I'm only 14 but I did spend quite a few years of my life as a centre half/central defender, and I can say that most defenders will hate anything involving pace!!! Even the fast ones!!! :D I now usually find if you are running at a defender with a bit of pace they tend to back off for a while. As soon as they do, I use the simple stepover, or double-stepover. Never fails!!! :)

    I think the best tricks come from those with an quick change of pace. Take Ronaldinho for example. Who saw the wonder goal against Ac Milan at the Nou Camp in this years champions league?! The way he shift-stabs the ball with his right foot into space created a clear view of goal and of course - he didn't waste his opportunity! Sticking with Ronaldinho on this one, the inside/outside drag - for those quizzed by my interpretation, its the one he does at the end of the Nike advert where Brazil play Portugal. Not to mention the disguise pass. Ingenious! Most known for Ronaldinho again but actually created by Anders Svenson of Southampton. And by the way, don't challenge me on that one, i was there!

    My Favorite move.... is the nutmeg. Folowed by passing the ball to one side of the defender and the running around him on the other side and beating him with the sprint to the ball. Look Out! Breakaway! :) If you consider the Goalie a defender then another good move is when the ball crosses the line below the crossbar and between the posts. Although my all time favorite move, even though it is not used on the defence, is the OFFSIDES TRAP. I love the player's face when the referee catches them. (But you better be able to sprint if one of your outside defenders lags a bit.:))

    double stepover by far is thebest

    roll it with your right foot, then stepover with right then with left and cut it with the outside of your right foot. its so awesome, it makes you smile whe you get the defender dancing and swaying right to left.

    it really depends on the situation tho, you cant pull stepovers all the time, you cant pull maradonnas all the time, you cant pull flicks all the time, and cutting the ball doesnt work everytime. If your a skilled player you should be able to do them all. Once a defender learns of your cuts, then switch it up, start doing some stepovers, do different moves and keep your defender guessing

    The best by far is the Elastico when it comes our right. I also like the tap with the inside, explode with the outside move (Mathew's?).
