Cf. "Stand By For Mars", Tom Corbett, Space Cadet, and the game of mercury ball.
If the ball were flying through the air, it could set up asymmetric drag and change its trajectory to some degree. Even if it weren't *guided*, it could still move in a random and impossible-to-predict manner which would thoroughly confuse even the best goalies.
