1.)The goalies main job in soccer is to stay in their designated area or square and when someone from the opposing team shoots it is the goalies responcibility to block it and send it back out to their team

2.)To simplify that i would say the goalies job is to guard their teams goal so that the other team would not get a point, and when the goalie got the ball they would throw it or drop-kick it to their own team!!!

3.)the goalies main job is pretty much to protect the goal from other people shooting, but you have no limits as to where you can go, you can go outside of the goaly box as far as you want

When there's a shot on goal (the shot's trajectory is taking it directly into the goal) and the goalkeeper is the one who prevents it from entering the goal. There is no distinction between grabbing the ball, punching it forward or tipping it over the bar, these are all saves.

A goal kick is awarded when an attacking player puts the ball out of play through the goal line (end of the field), but not inside the goal. The goalkeeper places the ball on his 6-yard box line and puts it back into play by kicking it, usually aiming for the area of the field where his team is performing best.

A 'save' is when the ball is prevented from going into your own team's net. A goal has been stopped or saved.

He has to make sure the ball doesn't reach the back of the net, talk to his players, and distribute the ball to his team.

How do soccer goalie gloves differ from other sports athletic gloves?

Soccer goalie gloves differ from other sports athletic gloves because of the padding on the back of the glove to protect the metacarpals on the goalie's hand from breaking if the ball made contact with the back of the goalie's hand. These gloves are almost reminiscent of UFC training gloves except for the fact that the fingers are covered on soccer goalie gloves as well.
