Which part of the goal consists of one of the two vertical posts?

  1. goalpost

  2. direct kick

  3. attacking third

  4. indirect kick

The correct answer is: goalpost

The correct answer is "goalpost" because one of the two vertical posts that make up a soccer goal is referred to as the goalpost. The goalpost is an essential component of the goal structure, alongside the crossbar that connects the two vertical posts. The term "direct kick" refers to a type of free kick where a player can score directly without the need for another player to touch the ball first. "Attacking third" is a term used to describe the third of the field closest to the opponent's goal. "Indirect kick" is a type of free kick where a goal can only be scored if another player touches the ball before it enters the goal.
