What is a "goalpost"?
A goalpost is a vertical structure used in sports like soccer, rugby, and American football to mark the area where players aim to score points. In soccer and rugby, the goalpost consists of two vertical posts with a crossbar stretched between them, forming the goal. Players aim to get the ball past the goalkeeper or between the posts to score. In American football, the goalpost has two upright posts and a crossbar, and players attempt to kick the ball through the posts for a field goal or extra point. Goalposts are key for marking scoring areas in these sports.
Example
The goalkeeper made an incredible save, preventing the ball from hitting the goalpost.
