far post
Goal's remote side
The far post in soccer and similar sports is the goalpost farthest from where the ball is being played—opposite the near post.
Crosses and shots aimed at the far post exploit the goalkeeper's difficulty covering the full width of the goal: He headed it in at the far post.
The term appears in tactical discussion of attacking plays.
