What does the term in soccer, “goal side inside” mean?
I recently joined a competitive soccer team, and during games, I often hear my teammates shouting, “goal side inside! goal side inside!” However, I have no idea what they mean by that. Can someone please explain this term to me? Thank you!

The term “goal side” means that you are to position yourself between the attacking player and your goal. If you are goal side of the attacking player you are in a position to stop him from taking a shot.
No. There is no deeper meaning. It simply means e.g. 2 goals to the good is that a team is 2 goals ahead of the other team. It comes from the English commentators who need to use a complete phrase when a couple of words will suffice.
I believe they were asking you to defend at either end of the goal post. Two players usually guard the goal post during corner kicks.
