szmaciarz (szmata = a shot/goal that should have been stopped by a keeper but it had not)

szmata means literally a rag - imagine a rag being kicked into a goal and the keeper failing to stop it

szmaciarz however has other meanings too

So then, if "piłkarz" is a soccer player ('footballer' to you, most likely), what is "goalie"? In German, it's "Torwart", literally "He who keeps watch over the goal post", since "Tor!" means "goal!"

goalie / goalkeeper is "bramkarz"

Thanks! Makes sense too, 'brama' = gate, so 'bramkARZ' = the "gater", literally or figuratively speaking. LOL

Bramkarz is also a chucker-out who keeps undesirables from entering an establishment or chucks out drunks and trouble-makeers.
