These '1 cm' situations are way more subjective than your average call though. You are adding human judgements in there about things like which frame exactly do you use? The one where the foot makes contact with the ball, the one where the ball leaves the foot, or maybe you don't have a clear image of either and have to just guess because shockingly they don't use high speed cameras for VAR.
So essentially at that point the VAR gets to choose whatever they feel whereas I would have the rule say that if its that close then you give the benefit of the doubt to the attacker.

That was the old rule, in case of doubt benefit the attacker.
In the end, in case of doubt refs would decide in favour of the big team, at least in our league.
