Jumpers for goalposts?

To be mappable there needs to be some infrastructure but there certainly can be a game of soccer without goalposts. Did you never make a pile of coats or jumpers as makeshift goalposts? In some places even grass is not a pre-reqiesit.

Even where there is a marked pitch goals are often removed when there isn't an official game going on.

Outside of actual grounds pitch markings are seasonal, soccer is a winter game. On recreation grounds and school fields markings for soccer or rugby will only be there part of the year, to maybe be replaced by running track markings or be used as a cricket pitch during the summer.
