How difficult is it for ordinary people to keep the goal:
Anyone who has watched football knows that the most important position on the football field is the goalkeeper. If a team defends well but does not have a goalkeeper, it will definitely be kicked by the opponent many goals. As a team's last line of defense, , how difficult is it for an ordinary person to keep the goal?The length of a football goal is approximately 7.32 meters (8 yards)
Goal height is approximately 2.44 meters (8 feet)
The two goalposts and crossbar of a Football goal must be no more than 12 centimeters (5 inches) of the same width and thickness.
And how difficult is it for a normal person to be a goalkeeper?
We all know that the height of ordinary people is approximately equal to the length of the arm span. The average height of Chinese men is 1.66 meters, so the arm span length is also approximately equal to 167cm (1.67 meters). Facing a goal that is 7.32 meters long, It can accommodate the arm span of almost 4 people.
As for the goal height of 2.44 meters, an ordinary person with a height of 1.66 meters can only reach a height of 1.99 meters with his raised hand. It is indeed not easy for ordinary people to keep the goal.
But a goalkeeper's goalkeeping skills are not entirely determined by wingspan and height.

Suggestion that football goals become bigger
In order to make Football matches more exciting and score more goals, former Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon suggested making the goal bigger. At present, the goal of a standard 11-a-side football field is 7.32 meters wide and 2.44 meters high, and the goal of a 7-a-side football field is 5 meters wide and 2 meters high. Retiring on August 2, 2023. The reason why Buffon proposed to expand the football goal is because today's goalkeepers are getting taller and taller, and their defensive range is getting wider and wider, which makes it more and more difficult to score goals in football matches.Buffon said in an interview: "Since 1875, the size (of the goal) has been fixed. At that time, the size of the goal may have been too big. But now, given the height of some players, (expanding the goal) can be considered. "
Buffon continued to explain: "The height of the goalkeepers affects long-range shots: 30 years ago, for every 50 long-range shots, 10 goals could be scored. Today, you should only score two or three goals. If you take long-range shots, it is difficult to score." A goal for a goalkeeper who is two meters tall.”
Buffon also talked about volleyball. As players get taller, volleyball has begun discussing whether to increase the height of the net. Currently, according to International Volleyball Federation regulations, the height of the net for men's volleyball matches is 2.43 meters and the height of the net for women's volleyball matches is 2.24 meters.
Buffon said: "Now, when we look at the height of certain players and goalkeepers, we can consider (expanding the height of the goal). On the other hand, even in volleyball there is discussion about the height of the net. I have two sisters, They're volleyball players, and I know the problem is that the serve becomes almost as critical as it is in tennis."
Buffon was promoted to Parma's first team in the 1994/95 season and hung up his boots after the 2022/23 season. Buffon said that in his 29-year career, he has witnessed the rapid increase in the height of football players.
The former Italian goalkeeper who is 1.92 meters tall said: "In 1998, I was one of the five tallest players in Serie A. Last year, when I played in Serie A with Parma, I was one of the five tallest players, but I was only 22 meters tall on the field. One of the top 5 tallest players in the world.”
Retiring at the age of 45, Buffon is one of the best goalkeepers in football history. In his career, with his wonderful saves, he has defused countless opponents' attacks and blocked countless inevitable goals. Now, one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the game is taking on current goalkeepers to make their jobs harder.
Expanding the goal may have pros and cons. The advantage is that it is easier to score goals, but the disadvantage is that the charm of football has weakened. Readers, do you agree with expanding Football goals?
