Passing or pushing a ball between another player's legs.

Amigos y colegas amantes del futbol, ¿cuál sería el término más general para esta expresión, es decir que lo entendiera un español, un mexicano y un argentino?

Muchas gracias

Yo estoy enfrentando el mismo problema, porque no hay un término común, aunque supongo que los tres al final entienden de qué se trata.
Por cierto, en España también se dice caño.

saludos Clarisa
