/Sounds like "TOO" (as in "tool") + "nehl" (as in "net")/
A nutmeg in soccer: kicking the ball through an opponent's open legs and picking it up on the other side. Used in Spain and Mexico. It is widely considered the single most humiliating skill move in the game. The whole stadium erupts, the victim's reputation takes a hit, and the one who pulls it off just keeps running like it was nothing. Also called "caño" in Spain.
“He nutmegged him and just kept running without even looking back.”
“The nutmeg from the number 10 was the play of the entire match, the crowd went wild.”
