A reader named Nic sent me a note saying that he has seen DC prospect Ruy (pronounced ROO-ee) play down in Brazil, and that Ruy is indeed a right wingback or full back - this is the classic Brazilian outside defender position made famous in recent years by the likes of Cafu and Roberto Carlos.

Some have said he looks like Earnie Stewart, I think he looks like this: Ruy Attacks.
