How to say - Soccer Nutmeg


Recently I have been watching the World Cup, I wanted to know how to say
Nutmeg (as in kicking it through the other players legs) in Japanese. I figure
it's not ナツメグ...




The answer was in the dictionary - but it's like the 100th entry. I had to
scroll down really far. To express the idea of a nutmeg you say 股抜{またぬ}き.

The Kanji 股 means "the leg from the knee up" and 抜く means... well There a lot
of uses of this word. It basically means "to remove from". It makes sense to
use it here, but not if I try to define it in my own words. If you are curious
