Hey everybody!
I'm looking for idioms connected with soccer (footbal in BrE). I found only a few:
to do a bicycle / scissors kick
to do bannana kick
to nutmeg a defender
to play one-two pass
to shoot into the near / far post

If you can help me and list any other, I'd really appreciate it.
I need it for my MA thesis
Thanks

go to www.google.com and do exact search (in quotes) on football idiom, football slang, soccer idiom, and soccer slang.
