Georgie Best was the king of nutmegs. I watched a documentary about him a few nights ago. I thought it was hype, but really he was focking incredible

Yeah, I don't really know why it's called a nutmeg. In short, we say "Haha you got nuttied, or "nice nutty"

Kewl. Thanks. Finally I'll know what to shout if I 'nutty' one of my foreign friends

Good observation on VDS Zlatan. Countless times I've seen him use his feet to great effect.

Gray your avatar is so much better than that blinking monster.

No you want to shout 'legs' just before you do it.

Ahh I've watched some stuff on him too, and the amazing thing I found was that he used only his right foot to do all that marvellous dribbling

Yeah. Most keepers are used to saving with their hands, and thats great when the ball's going high, or low but a few meters to your side. But when the ball is going low and half a yard from your foot you more often than not you cant save it with your hand, there simply isnt enough time to get down to the ground. You just need good reflexes to stick out your leg and hope your foot is in the right place. I got pretty good at tham myself.


Anyways, why doesnt someone hire me as a scout?

Yeah, there have been some great players in the past.

My dad told me about this player in the Yugoslavian league in the 60s, he was known as the best dribbler in the league. One match he dribbled 3 players, stopped in the middle of the pitch, kneeled down, put his foot on the ball and started tying his shuelaces. Nobody dared try to take the ball

Because Van Der Saar was scouted 15 years ago

Dumbass

I always hold my breath when Buffon goes down hoping he will get there before the ball.

That's a pity for you but personal qualities are also important, Incubo.

George Best is one of my all time fav players. You dont see players like today so much skill but a bit of a playboy, ladies man with meat chop sideburns

Has anyone heard of an old school english legend. Sir Stanley Matthews. I saw a tape of him about 4 years ago and he was doing some sick skills. Hes short and bald when he was in his late 20s and he was the best dribbler of the ball ever. correct me if im wrong.

Matthews ended his career in the 50s, as over 40 year old... Yes, he was very good...

 

[MCPIERO]
