I guess you're not supposed to push your luck. NFL players have similar issues wrt the line of scrimmage.

I guess. Probably worth the risk late in game to try to create a scoring chance.

I have the solution. No toe over the line.

You hit the nail on the head, there's no way the player can be sure. Right now, there's zero margin. But a lot of people, and I think they're already pushing for this in the Premier League, want a 10-centimeter margin for 'offsides'.

Then the new zero margin point becomes 10 centimeter beyond the actual line.

It's a sport of skill. That's one of the things they train for. Maybe a minor thing but still.
