A few inches can make a difference.

[Insert (!!!) unsuitable joke here]

Say for example, when a cross is played in and an offside limb gets on the end of it.

You might end up with daylight applying outside the penalty area and then not when close to goal and all kinds of shenanigans. Don’t get me started on “interfering with play”.

These days.
