Speed may not always affect soccer in my opinion. It is really just about stamina and not even that much because you can always be subbed-out if you get tired and have subs. Sure, speed helps trick other players and get the ball up the field faster but if you don't like to run then goalie would probably be the best position for you (but you still have to run in goal if you're on a serious team).

∙ 10y agoYou do not necessarily need speed.
If you are quick, however, it becomes much easier for you to quickly accelerate past other players, or catch up with them. I
f you are a centre back you need strength to be able to tackle players.
If you are a full back or a winger, you will need speed to run up and down the wings.
If you are a centre midfielder, you need stamina to run up and down the pitch to help with both attacking and defending.
If you are a striker, you need to be fast and strong to make good runs, get past players, and shoulder barge defenders away.

∙ 12y agoThe footballer runs with the ball in a straight line ( His speed). He then has to change direction because another footballer trys to block him so he changes direction (Velocity) i.e a change in direction. Velocity is speed with a direction. Say 5 mph in a NE direction.
Answer
The above answer is correct. Soccer is all about velocity. Rarely do you see a footballer run for long in a straight line. He uses the field in every direction to reach his goal, well the opposites sides goal.

What soccer has to do with velocity?
Nothing
How does mass effect velocity?
It doesn't. But velocity does effect mass : as velocity increases, mass increases.
Does horizontal velocity effect the rate of vertical velocity?
No, horizontal velocity and vertical velocity are independent and have no effect on each other.
What effect does fraction have on the velocity of the ball?
Do you mean "What effect does friction have on the velocity of the ball?"
What is the effect of gravity on velocity?
Gravity is a force and any force acting on a body changes its velocity in the direction of the force.
A soccer ball collides with another soccer ball at rest The total momentum of the balls?
That would depend on the velocity of the soccer ball not at rest.
Can the effect of initial velocity on final velocity be predicted?
Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)
How does stitching effect the distance a soccer ball will travel?
How does stitching effect the distance a soccer ball will travel?
What is the effect on accelerationif we decreasing velocity?
If you are decreasing velocity, you are undergoing negative acceleration.
What is the velocity of a football when it is hit?
The record speed for a soccer ball to have been kicked by a pro soccer player is 110 mph.
Why velocity diagram are required for centrifugal pumps?
velocity diagram indicate the effect of vane angle, effect of jet angle on impeller speed
How does the Doppler Effect effects sound?
There is a limitation od Doppler's effect in sound. Doppler's effect is applicable provided if the relative velocity of the source and the listener is less than the velocity of sound.
