There is only one extra requirement for a goal keeper's equipment. One player must be the designated goal keeper and they must wear a different color than either team or the opposing goal keeper. There are no requirements in the laws for gloves or long sleeves.

this is because the ball hurts when it hits your hands A goalie needs them for grip. If it is raining, the ball would slip from their hands. They also need it to protect their hands from getting hurt. Gripness and Protectness is why they need them.

Not all football players wear gloves, but many do. It gives them more gripping ability. If you handle the ball, you definitely want gloves. But it also helps the ones that don't handle the ball, by giving a better grip on their opponent's clothing. My son used to play football, defensive tackle and something else on offense (yes, he was in almost every play of every game), and he wore gloves.

Sure they can. I don't know why you would want to but I don't know of any rules against it. You cannot wear football cleats but I see no reason why you can't wear football gloves. Wear winter gloves for all the ref cares. I would highly recommend purchasing a quality pair of goalie gloves though. High end goalie gloves have something known as finger savers. This stops your fingers from over extending backwards and can save you a lot of money on medical bills. A good pair of goalie gloves will also have a great grip on the ball and will allow you to distribute the ball just as well (they're not sticky rubber) there are a lot of great advantages to investing in a pair of goalie gloves, just go check them out. Id recommend eurosport unless you have a local soccer shop where you can actually try them on and see the difference. Remember, goalie gloves are designed for this stuff. Football gloves aren't.

The main reason goalkeepers where gloves is that as they passpire and the wt damp weatherin England will cause the ball tpo slip fromtheir hands.

Try to hold on to a leather ball moving at 60+ mph with your bare hands and then ask that question again.

Why doesn't a soccer goalie have to wear a glove?

Why should a goalkeeper have to wear gloves in football? Gloves are only worn for padding and gripping reasons, so it is the choice of the keeper as to whether he prefers the grip of the gloves and whether he feels he needs padding. The only real argument for goalies to have to wear gloves is that if there is a packed penalty area, and the referee sees a hand touch the ball, it is easier in that split second to see if it was the goalkeeper or whether someone comitted hand ball.
