Re: Ask me about being a FIFA-certified soccer referee
[ QUOTE ]
Attacking player is dribbling the ball up the middle of the field and has one defender to beat. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees another attacking player run past him down the left sideline. As the defender looks quickly to see where the second attacker is and if there is someone coming to mark him, the attacking player with the ball dribbles around the defender and quickly shoots and scores. Since the second attacking player was still at the sideline and nowhere near the ball or goal, no offside was called. However, I think that an advantage was gained.

Just to help out, this seems close to what you're talking about...
From USSF "Advice to Referees on the Laws of the Game" (?FIFA could be different?)
11.5 INTERFERING WITH AN OPPONENT
"...if the attacker in an offside position makes a gesture or movement which deceives or distracts an opponent in the process of making a play for the ball, the offside offence must be called..."
