The etymological origin of the term goal that we are now going to address, we have to establish that it is found in Latin. Specifically, it must be emphasized that it derives from the word “porta”, which can be translated as “door”.
The notion of goal has several uses. In the field of sport , the term refers to the framework where players must introduce the ball to score a goal .
The goal, also called an arch , is formed with two vertical posts or sticks , joined together by a crossbar or crossbar arranged horizontally at a certain height. It also has a structure developed outside the playing field to support the net that contains the ball once it crosses the goal line.
Take the case of football . The goal, at a professional level, must have a width of 7.32 meters and a height of 2.44 meters. The posts and the crossbar are considered part of the playing field: therefore, if the ball hits them and does not leave the regulation surface, the actions do not stop.
To score a goal in soccer , the ball must completely enter the goal ( defended by the goalkeeper ) , surpassing a line that has the same width as the posts and that joins both sticks.
In the case of the handball goal, we have to establish that it must have interior measurements of 2 meters high by 3 meters wide. Likewise, it must be emphasized that it must be made up of the frame (two posts and a stringer), the relevant network and, of course, it must be adequately fixed to the ground using the corresponding fastening systems.
The space of a building from where the doorman is dedicated to controlling the entry and exit of individuals and/or vehicles is also called a goal. By extension, the job and home of the goalkeeper is known as a goal.
A doorman is in charge of guarding the door, in addition to carrying out other tasks as part of his work activity. If you reside in the same building, you do so in a home called portería. The goal is also the specific place that the goalkeeper occupies during most of the work day.
Among the other functions performed by a doorman are turning on and off the lights in the common areas of the building when necessary, collecting and delivering mail to each of the tenants, carrying out small repairs, keeping the meter rooms under control, removing the garbage from the building's containers...
Porte, finally, is the set of ports (openings) of a boat. These ports can be used to load and unload merchandise; for the entry of air and light; or for artillery installation.
With this term and its nautical meaning we have to establish that there are different expressions. Specifically, there is that of “equalizing the goal”, which is used to mention that it is necessary to ensure that all the gates, when opened, remain in what is the same measurement or plane.
There is also the expression “open the goal”, which refers to the fact that it is necessary to undertake the opening, whenever possible, of the so-called low battery.
Likewise, there is also talk of “fringing the goal”, which is an action carried out to prevent water from entering the boat.
