The goal in football/soccer is a bit larger than in hockey.
If you’re going to bring that up, we could talk about the hows and whys of the NBA not allowing goaltending.
Have you ever noticed that one player just can’t jump up and sit in the goal for the whole of the game?
It’s rather small, so the game then would be about who could remove the man from the area above the basket.
Perhaps we could just make the goalie have to stay away from the crease in the NHL and wear something similar to that which everyone else wears? (Unfortunately, there are a number of good reasons things are the way they are[1].)
