disagree  moken: Enrique, lo siento mucho. El full back es el que juega de lateral. Como puedes decir a quien pregunta una duda "Estoy completamente seguro"? Y tu justificación: México es un país de habla hispana - ¿usáis términos ingleses para las posiciones de fútbol?

disagree  Dr. Andrew Frankland: Full backs play on either side of the central defenders or centre backs.
