What are they most affective soccer tricks?

The best way to beat an opponent is just to pass around them. If that's not possible then you're going to have to dribble. When that's the situation i've found the most affective moves are just basic cuts. Run at them and cut one way or another, usually they'll miss time their steps and you can be gone before they realize what's happened. Other moves that are really useful are step overs (if you can do them really fast and smooth) or the fake shot, but that only works if you're near the goal (obviously). Good luck

Step overs work a few times, but unless you are really good they will be able to read your tricks. Passing is the thing which does it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drScL8q956o Tell your coach that you want to play defensive midfield where you stay ten yards in front of the defence and harass the opposition midfield as they dribble the ball up the field. You don't need to tackle them you just need to stop them from being able to run straight at the defence. It's still a defensive role but you get a much greater freedom to move without worrying about the gap you leave behind.

Most effective ways to beat a defender aren't usually 'tricks.' You, as a former defender should recognize the fact that the worst players to face against are the ones' who only dribble when they need to. So, just dribble and do quick turns/movements with feet. Good luck!

geet used to holding the ball on your foot. once you have mastered this, try moving your foot all around the ball (360 degrees) as quick as you can whilst the ball is in the air. this is called around the world. The worlds most famous trick. practis makes perfect. once you have mastered that it becomes easy to do the others.
