can't they pull the goalie for an extra attacker?

They could, but the extra attacker usually doesn't have that much impact, because there are simply more players on the field, than in hockey. But some goalies are good enough with the ball that sometimes they do join in the attack, I've seen it a few times.

Sure can but I wouldn't when playing Italy!

Err, I suppose it's possible, but you would have to use one of your substitutions to do it. In soccer what you see is a defender substituted for a striker.

Occasionally in desperate situations you'll see a keeper come up on corner kicks and other set pieces, but then he has to hoof it back down to the other end of the field.
