Everything I've ever read about Newton suggests to me that his first law
would have been to never be caught dead anywhere near a soccer game.
No. The conditions for Newton's First Law are that there is no acceleration; and these conditions simply don't apply. You need Newton's Second Law for your analysis.

People were playing something like soccer since ancient times. But modern soccer was created in England.
Newton's first law of motion tells me that I will remain in constant uniform motion unless I am acted on by an external force.
Yes, Newton's First Law applies to rotating objects as well. An object in rotational motion will continue rotating at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an external torque (force). This is analogous to Newton's First Law for linear motion, which states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. When a falling object is in free fall, it continues to fall due to the force of gravity acting upon it, following the principle of inertia described by Newton's first law.
Lionel Messi scored his first penalty at the age of 5 when he had just started playing soccer.
The first thing this person must do is contact a sports agent. These can be found in the local phone book. The agent's can vary in prices, and depending on your financial leeway, you will be arranged a tryout with various soccer organizations. Remember, playing soccer for any organization is better than not playing at all. Good luck.
Force is basically a term for any object in motion, force is just a term that describes such. Its always been their, always will, Newton was the first to apply it to gravity, and the acceleration of gravity, along with inertia.
