I did fine once again. But it's fnny to sse how different the meanings can be from a language (like portuguese) to another (like english), or even the deffinitions of a kick style.

Hi Michael Lee,
Welcome to Premier Skills English!
A dummy is a type of football action that makes an opponent think you are going to do one thing but you do another. It's often done without touching the ball! A teammate might pass you the ball, but instead of controlling the ball, you let it go through your legs to a teammate, or maybe you start to move in one direction and then go the other way.
A dummy can also describe a silly person (it's impolite) and when a player does one of these actions on the pitch it can make an opponent look like a dummy!
Hope that helps,
