Doing the entire act intentionally I couldn't see, but doing part of it intentionally, setting oneself up to goof, I could see. K1 is supposed to approach the ball and pretend to kick while K2 slightly after him kicks the ball in a different direction. If K1 goes too far selling the fake, he could wind up in the neutral zone before K2 makes contact with the ball. Then you'd want to whistle it dead in Fed or flag it as offside in other codes.
Ever have simultaneous encroachment by both teams in Fed when an onside kick is expected? Not that it would be really simultaneous, but that nobody would be positioned to tell which came first?
