Yes. He can play anywhere on the field. But he can handle the ball only within his own penalty area. And then only in accordance with the Laws of the Game. If he leaves his own penalty area, the rules that apply to field players now apply to him.

Does the soccer ball have to leave the goalie's box for the opponents to attack and score?
Yes. The only times other players aren't permitted in the penalty box are on the goalkeeper's goal kicks and on penalty kicks.
Can the goalie use hands only in the penalty area in soccer?
No, they may also kick it, though they often use hands as it grants them better control
Is it against any rule if the goalkeeper leaves the penalty area in soccer?
It is not against any rule of soccer if a goalkeeper leaves the penalty area. He has the same rights and privileges on the field of play as any other player, except that he gets the added privilege of handling the ball within his own penalty area. It is only against a rule if the goalkeeper is handling the ball with any part of his hand, arm, or shoulder when leaving the penalty area; it will be a handling foul, direct free kick to opposing team from just outside the penalty area where the GK carried the ball, and possibly a caution (yellow card) if the referee believes the act was unsporting conduct.
What is the penalty arc in soccer?
It is an arc that is drawn outside of the penalty area with a radius of ten yards and the center being the penalty mark. (Note: the mark is only 6 yards from the edge of the penalty area area) Whenever a penalty kick is taken all players, except the kicker and the goal keeper, must be outside of the penalty area, at least ten yards from the mark, and not closer to the goal line than the mark. Other than the taking of penalty kicks, it has no other function.
Why can goalies use their hands and feet?
A goalkeeper within his own penalty area (the 18-yard box) is allowed to use his hands to defend the goal. Only one player on each team may act as the goalkeeper any any given time, and they need the referee's permission to change the person filling that role. Outside of the penalty area, the goalkeeping is no different than any other player.
Can you have more than 11 players on the field and still spike the ball?
Yes but that would be a penalty to have to many players on the field, if they are on the other team then they will get the penalty.
How a penalty kick is taken and where the players stand in soccer?
The ball is placed on the penalty spot, which is 12 yards from the goal line. The Goalkeeper must stand on the goal line, and is not allowed to move forward until the kick is taken and he attempts to save it. The player who is taking the kick can stand anywhere they want as they will usually have their own run up. The referee blows the whistle and the player runs up and tries to score and the keeper tries to save it. If the penalty was in normal time the players are allowed to try and score the rebound, in a peanlty shootout they are not allowed to. All other players must stand outside the box, and are not allowed to enter the box until the kick is taken. If the players enter the box or the keeper moves off his line before the kick is taken, the penalty must be retaken, at the discression of the referee.
Can a goalkeeper score a goal against the other team?

Can goalkeeper hold the ball in the semi circle outside the 18 area?
No because it will be classed as handball and the other team will get a free kick.
What is the semi circle in a football pitch used for?
The arc at the top of the penalty area is not a full half circle. It is scribed out with the penalty mark as its center, and it's there to provide a reference mark that allows players and the officials to know where "10 yards from the ball" is with reference to the penalty mark. Upon a penalty kick, players will take up positions about the top of the penalty box, but outside the arc. The top center of the penalty box is actually a bit closer to the penalty mark than 10 yards. Hence the need for the line. The Laws of the Game require players to be ten yards from the penalty mark (and outside of the penalty box) at the time a penalty kick is taken. Players must remain outside those areas until the ball is touched to (re)initiate play.
What is a penalty goal in soccer?
A penalty kick is awarded when a defender commits a direct free kick offense, against an attacker, within his own penalty area, and during active play. The penalty kicker places the ball on the penalty mark, 12 yards from the goal, and gets a one-on-one kick against the opposing goal keeper. All other players must be outside of the penalty area, 10 yards from the ball, and behind the ball at the taking of the kick.
Can a goal keeper go in to the other team's penalty area and pick the ball up?
In short, no. A goal kick is not complete (the ball in not yet in play) until the whole of the ball crosses the whole of the penalty area line and into the field of play. If the goalkeeper touches the ball before it completely leaves the penalty area, the goal kick must be retaken. If the goalkeeper touches the ball with his hands after the ball has left the penalty area and become "in-play", then he is guilty of a handling infraction because the ball is not within the keeper's own penalty area anymore. Either the ball is still in the penalty area or it isn't; it can't be both. This is all without even considering the fact that a goalkeeper cannot handle a ball that has been intentionally kicked to him by a teammate, the so-called "pass-back" rule.
