How difficult is it for ordinary people to keep the goal:

Anyone who has watched soccer knows that the most important position on the soccer field is the goalkeeper. If a team defends well but has no goalkeeper, it will surely be kicked into many goals by the other team. As the last line of defense for a team, how hard is it for an average person to keep the goal?
The length of a soccer goal is about 7.32 meters (8 yards)
The height of a goal is about 2.44 meters (8 feet)
The width and thickness of the two goalposts and the crossbar of a soccer goal must not exceed 12 centimeters (5 inches).
And how hard is it for an ordinary person to be a goalkeeper?
We all know that the height of an average man is approximately equal to the length of his arm span. The average height of a Chinese male is 1.66 meters, so the length of the arm span is also equal to about 167cm (1.67 meters). Facing a 7.32 meter long goal, it can accommodate almost 4 people's arm span.
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 a raised hand, and it is really not easy for an ordinary person to keep the goal.
But a goalkeeper's goalkeeping skills are not entirely determined by arm span and height.
Goalkeepers need a lot of bouncing power.
Goalkeepers need to be extremely flexible
There are many excellent goalkeepers in today's soccer world, such as Buffon, Kassi, Neuer, etc. As professional athletes, they are agile, quick reaction, excellent footwork, and do not lack of professionally trained skills, such as posture, positioning, and of course, the experience accumulated from many games.
A good mindset is also essential for a goalkeeper.
Ordinary people with more practice and study can be just as good as the stars, allowing the opponent to zero out.

Suggestion that football goals become bigger

In order to make football matches more exciting and score more goals, former Italian goalkeeper 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, while the goal of a 7-a-side football field is 5 meters wide and 2 meters high. Retired on August 2, 2023. Buffon proposed expanding the football goal because goalkeepers nowadays are getting taller and their defensive range is becoming wider, which makes it increasingly difficult to score goals in football matches.
Buffon said in an interview, "Since 1875, the size of the goal has been fixed, and at that time, the size of the goal may have been too large. But now, considering the height of some players, it is possible to consider expanding the goal
Buffon continued to explain, "The height of a goalkeeper affects long-range shots: 30 years ago, for every 50 long-range shots, you could score 10 goals. But today, you can only score a maximum of two or three goals. If you shoot from a distance, it's difficult to score into a two meter high goalkeeper's goal
Buffon also talked about volleyball, and as players grow taller, the volleyball community has begun discussing whether to increase the height of the net. Currently, according to the regulations of the International Volleyball Federation, the net height for men's volleyball matches is 2.43 meters, and for women's volleyball matches it is 2.24 meters.
Buffon said, "Now, when we examine the height of certain players and goalkeepers, we can consider (increasing the height of the goal). On the other hand, even in volleyball matches, there are discussions about the height of the net. I have two older sisters who are volleyball players, and I know the problem is that serving has become almost as crucial as tennis
Buffon was promoted to the Parma first team in the 1994/95 season and retired after the 2022/23 season. Buffon said that in his 29 year career, he witnessed the rapid growth of football players' height.
The former Italian goalkeeper, who is 1.92 meters tall, said, "In 1998, I was one of the top 5 players in Serie A. Last year, when I played for Parma in Serie A, I was one of the top 5 players, but on the field, I was only 22 meters tall and one of the top 5 players in the world
Buffon, who retired at the age of 45, is one of the best goalkeepers in football history. In his career, he resolved countless opponents' attacks with brilliant saves and blocked countless inevitable goals. Now, one of the best goalkeepers in football history is challenging current goalkeepers to make their work even more difficult.
Expanding the goal may have both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that scoring goals is easier, but the disadvantage is that the charm of football is weakened. Readers, do you agree to expand the football goal?
