it doesn't have to be a flat out sprint with the whole body moving at that speed

it can be a lunge, a leap, a slide tackle, the independent movement of a leg or head (or shoulder). Lots of other scenarios.

A defender stepping up to play offside doesn't have to be running at 35km/h to produce a huge margin for error, only one part of his body which can be used to play the ball has to be moving.

yesterdays goal (NCFC) - Kar1, Jan 2, 09:10:27
- I think they may have taken a frame too early. The ball has not left his foot (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 2, 10:49:02
  - The rule is first contact with the ball (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 2, 10:54:14

        How do they differentiate 'playing' and 'touching' the ball? (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 2, 11:20:14
