The longest NFL first down and goal distance is 99 yards. The goal line is located at the end of the football field, so it remains the same distance of 10 yards from the line of scrimmage regardless of the field position.

In soccer, the "regulation" width of the goal is 8 yards, or 24 feet. A goal that is marked by posts alone, that is, a goal that lacks a crossbar, might be used in special circumstances. But it is clearly not an "official" structure and does not meet the minimum requirements set down in the Laws of the Game.
