When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

That's interesting, Liz. I see the term "football" in some of the links I've provided. Maybe they're mixing things up.

Egon Lessa
: Midfielder in Portuguese (BR) is meio-campo and in Portuguese (PT) is médio, which is an actual position. Marcador is not a position, anyone can marcar other players.

Andre Lange
: entendo que marcador é em português de PT equivalente a meio-campista no português BR, e portando midfielder na tradução.

Victor Góes
: Creio que, conforme comentado, o "marcador" é apenas o jogador marcando outro em dada ocasião. Ele pode ter qualquer função no time, inclusive de atacante. Especificar "midfilder", a meu ver, adiciona uma informação que não existe no original.

Eu imagino que o lance mencionado seja esse, onde o Denilson é marcado por 4 jogadores quase na pequena área e nada tem a ver com posição nenhuma: são 4 jogadores marcando o Denilson, ou seja, 4 marcadores. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sriKXWIFkAA
