The Laws of the Game do not require goal nets; only that if they are present, they are made of suitable material and must not interfere with the goalkeeper. Traditionally, goal nets are always used. Interestingly, corner flags are mandatory, but are found missing from the field more often than nets.
Fish nets have been used for thousands of years, with evidence dating back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. The specific inventor of fish nets is unknown due to their long history and widespread use by various cultures around the world.
According to FIFA's laws of the game goal posts must be 8 ft high and 8 yds wide. There is no stipulation as to how deep the nets have to be. Infact the laws only say that nets maybe attached as long as they do not interfere with the goal keeper. The different leagues or national associations may have their own stipulations as to having nets mandatory and the depth of the nets.
In soccer, the nets are a mesh polyethylene of other suitable material often attached to the rear (out of play) side of each team's goalposts and crossbar. The purpose of goal nets are to prevent balls that have entered the goal from careening away from the field and delaying the restart of play. They also create a barrier between "inside" and "outside" of the goal to help officials, players, and other onlookers determine whether a fast-moving ball crossed the goal line between the goalposts and under the crossbar, or outside of them. The Laws of the Game do not require nets, but allow their use so long as they do not interfere with the goalkeeper or other players near the goal. By convention, nets are nearly always used, are white in color, and extend at least a yard behind the goal line before converging to form the cage-like area, giving a volume of at least 576 cubic feet for adult professional matches.
The whole concept in the usage of basketball nets on a basketball rim might be due to fact that some other professional sports make use of nets at there goal points. Also because of the nature of the sports, it might have something to do with projectile motion.
Some would say nets, but this is also credited to Britomartis or Diktynna.
