The 2005 edition of the Laws of the Game included a new International Football Association Board decision that stated being " nearer to an opponent's goal line" meant that "any part of his head, body or feet is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent (the last opponent typically being the goalkeeper). The arms are not included in this definition."
