Soccer is a ball game, which is also commonly known as football or association football. It is played between 2 teams with 11 members each using a spherical ball. The goal of the game is to score by hitting the ball into the opposing goal. The goalkeepers are the only ones allowed touching the ball with their hands or arms; as other players could only use their feet to kick or maneuver the ball into position. With this, the goalkeepers must be strong and equipped enough to catch or prevent the ball from entering into the goal. By being equipped, it means that a goalkeeper must have the right goalkeeping gear to be safe from injuries caused by an impact.

There are different portable soccer goals for sale in different types and sizes. Plastic soccer goals are lightweight but durable. They are commonly used for practice. Some plastic goals come in a tight netting system so that it also serves as a bounce-back practice instrument. However, when mounting a plastic soccer goal, it needs to be anchored well as it can easily fall off due to a light weight. The metal soccer goals on the other hand are usually made with aluminum material so they are heavy. Normally, metal goals are not meant to be moved around too much in the field. Aluminum goals last for a long time as they are weather resistant.

Each soccer team has its own set of soccer t-shirts with the logo or the name of their team on it. These shirts also serve as team uniforms that identify each player to their own teams. On the hand, the shirts could also serve as souvenir items as many soccer fanatics buy soccer shirts of their favorite team for collection purposes.
