Physics differentiate the good from the great goalkeepers, and to be one of them you need to have in mind this four things: 

The Understanding of Momentum- A goalkeeper must keep his weight shifted forward, standing on the balls of his feet
he Analysis of Vectors- While preparing for a shot, a goalkeeper must analyze vectors at all times to determine where he should stand.
The Maximization of Impulse- the most expensive goalie gloves are made of the softest foam, with premium cushioning in the palms.
The Knowledge of Torque- The goalkeeper slides out on the grass, attacking the ball low.
