Friction in Soccer http://lc3.littlechute.k12.wi.us/High%20School/Academics/Science%20Department/Janssen/Physics%20Of%20Project/projects/soccerandrewphil/throwin.html
Kicking:
When a soccer player kicks the ball, the ball experiences air resistance a.k.a drag. Air resistance is the force that opposes a ball in the air. This force is usually the wind which will slow down or even change the direction the ball is traveling if strong enough. You also see Projectile Motion when kicking a ball. Projectile Motion is when the ball reaches it's maximum height then comes back down due to gravity.

Throw-ins:
To get an accurate and legal throw in, most players drag their back foot on the ground. The friction that occurs when your back foot drags across the ground is sliding friction. Projectile Motion occurs as well during throw ins. This is where you see the ball flying through the air to it's maximum height then dropping back down to the field.

Dribbling/Passing:
When dribbling the soccer ball down the field, rolling friction occurs. This also happens when you pass the ball. You see Newton's first law take place when you are passing the ball. At first the ball is at rest, then you kick it which will send the ball rolling across the field, and finally it is stopped by an unbalanced force or another player.
