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! :)


If the Goalkeeper is challanged when both feet are off the ground is it a foul?

In soccer, if a goalkeeper is challenged while both feet are off the ground, it may be considered a foul depending on the circumstances. If the challenge is deemed reckless or dangerous, it could result in a free kick or penalty against the offending player. However, if the challenge is fair and within the rules, it may not be considered a foul. The referee's interpretation of the situation is crucial in making the final decision.


Can a goalkeeper handle the ball outside the 18 yard area while his feet are in the 18 yard area?

No, a goalkeeper cannot handle the ball outside the 18-yard area, regardless of whether their feet are still inside the area. The Laws of the Game state that a goalkeeper is only permitted to use their hands within their own penalty area, and handling the ball outside that area results in a free kick for the opposing team. If the goalkeeper's body is outside the area while handling the ball, it constitutes an infringement.


What math skills are used in soccer?

In real life soccer, at the fast pace, only one thing is used. Its estimating. However, speed and velocity can be considered, like how much force a goalkeeper should exert to get the ball away, the angle of the shot to determine the rebound, all these are demonstrated in soccer. The curve can also be calculated using math, at a higher level, if need be. Even an inch perfect cross is not spot on, so the most powerful tool is estimating. Whats written above is true, but real math IS used in soccer. You need to know your angles (shooting location), the goalie has to use probability, etc. There's a lot. Really . none of its true hon. you dont have to do math and you dont need to no what do your math means really all it means is dont stand around not doing anything you have to get your feet moving and get ready for the ball to come to you and then you strick and that easy its your ball.
