With the variety of easy-to-transport football goals currently available, gone are the days of needing to use jumpers as goalposts.
There are all sorts of goals that you can get. In terms of assembly, there are ones that simply pop up, some that click together, and even ones that need inflating. Then there's the fabric, which can range from plastic to metal to anything in between. There are big goals, small goals, goals that come in pairs… it can all get a bit confusing.
The good news is that there's a goal out there to fit anyone's needs. Here are some of the very best football goals currently available.
