Juke: (in sport) make a sham 
move to mislead an opponent.

Welcome back, Brian! Great to see you, sir!

he stood out barely in a minute 
an immediate showpiece of skills
he juked two defenders ala Ronaldo
they crumbled in a heap on the ground
the new sensation making his debut
touted as a new Pele 
and he is not even a Brazilian
(44 words) 

Brian's at d'Verse Quadrille#131
to include the word  'juke'

  4. Thank you for explaining this use of 'juke' to me. I can picture it when you mention Ronaldo! I'm English so kind of wishing we'd juked a few more defenders on Sunday night...
