Sliding tackles
When properly timed, the sliding tackle is a very effective skill.
It also looks good, but remember that this is a last-ditch tackle.
The problem with it is that it leaves the defender lying on the ground and temporarily out of the game.
And if you get the timing wrong you will give away a foul - or a penalty if in the box.
