But you can't score 4.1 goals. You can't take 5.9 shots on goal. Goals and attempts are integers. Ask Sheffield United.

I feel like this misses the point. Infinite outcomes != all outcomes.

What you stated is certainly true, but Infinite outcomes == all possible outcomes in infinite quantity, and we know that life is possible.

No it doesn't. This is a common misunderstanding of infinity. Infinite is absolutely not the same as all.
