In my exploration of whether football/soccer goals are spontaneous or part of planned plays, I found out it's a blend of both. While strategies and set plays are crucial, players often have to act spontaneously based on the game's flow. The unpredictability of the sport necessitates quick decision-making, often leading to spur-of-the-moment goals. However, a well-executed planned play can also result in a successful goal. So, football/soccer is a fascinating mix of planning and spontaneity.
