<upd_detl>I think there should be a distinct sense here for 目標. As in English, I think it stands fairly independently of the sports analogy.

As katakana, my gut feeling is that only gloss should be "goal"  (and not the laundry-list of synonyms contained on 目標 and 目的).  The xref can do the leg-work of providing synonyms.

The point of the entry is to indicate that "yes, the Japanese do use ゴール with this meaning".  I'm writing a letter in Japanese right now, and was considering using the term.  I went to jisho.org to confirm it was acceptable, but the sense was missing.  The conclusion would be "oh, I guess Japanese people don't use it this way".  I still thought it was legitimate though, so I did a few extra searches and made this edit.

Given the ngrams, I think I will still not use it, in favor of one of the more common xrefs :)

I originally xref'd 目標 and 目的, even though I know we dislike multiple xrefs.  However, sankoku gives 目標, and the random "goal-vs-objective" explicitly aligns ゴール with 目標 in contrast with 目的=objective. Still quite subtle, but an interesting observation nonetheless. Seems like they are saying that 全体的な目的 = 目標 anyway...

I waffled on "i.e. objective" "i.e. target" because of the reference article.  But ultimately "objective" seems like the most readily comprehensible term with zero surrounding context.

I don't feel overly passionate about any of my choices, except that [2] should be a sense. 

While the ngrams make it almost look like a 'blip', the Englishification of Japanese marches on, and sense [2] seems a bit more popular to me today than it might have been even a decade ago when the stats were collected.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Proposing that the sporting sense be split. The JEs roll the meanings together but the kokugos split, which I think is appropriate. 
I'll reindex the sentences if this is approved. Some need the English tweaking, e.g. "The boy ran and ran toward the goal. "</upd_detl>
