Absolutely. Keepers are field players, except they can use their hands in their own penalty area. That's the only difference.

Note: In rare instances where things are "desperate" and there is little time left in the match, the keeper of the trailing team has been seen coming up to play with all his teammates in and around the opponent's penalty area in an attempt to get a late goal. It's unusual, and a risky bid - for obvious reasons. An "open" goal is a good target.

Angles in soccer?

Not sure exactly what you mean...but I guess you could say there are angles in soccer. When your teammate has the ball you have to angle yourself so they have a clear passing lane without a defender being in the way. Also the goalkeeper needs to know angles so they can properly place themselves so they are covering as much of the goal from the forward/striker as possible. They need to make scoring as hard as possible for the opposite team so therefore they want to cut down the angle between the player and the goalkeeper. Hope this helps! :)


Can a defender cross the center line?

Yes, a defender can cross the center line in sports such as soccer and basketball. In soccer, defenders often move forward to support the attack, while in basketball, they may cross into the offensive half to participate in plays. However, their primary role is to defend, so they typically stay closer to their own goal. Crossing the center line is subject to the game's tactical dynamics and strategies.
