According to my friends at Wikipedia, "nutmeg" means: "to kick, roll, dribble or throw the ball between an opponent's legs. It only counts if possession is retained after the ball has passed through the opponents legs. This can be done in order to pass to another player, to shoot on goal, or to carry on and retrieve it."
In the chaos that is 5th grade recess, Emilio seems to take as much pleasure from nutmegging his opponents as he does from scoring goals.
Though we did not win our third game in the Norman tournament, Emi executed an impressive nutmeg of one of his opponents. See photo above. That ball has just passed between the defender's feet, and Emilio is about to take control of it again on the other side.
