*laughing really, really hard* No. You would have to kick the ball with enough force that the friction with the air would cause enough heat to catch it on fire. Kicking a ball with this much force would probably just cause the stitches holding the ball together to disintegrate. If you put a matchbox-side on your shoe and red phosphorous (the stuff on match-heads) on the ball and then just skimmed the phosphorous-coated edge of the ball with your matchbox-side shoe, it might burn the phosphorous. However, the chance of successfully executing this are extremely low.
