Ok, have a set of cones placed down a hundred yard field and give each of the players, football and soccer, a ball that they must dribble down the field around the cones. That is combining speed and agility. Or even better, have a few defenders run at them to take away the ball.
Soccer is not a track meet. Speed is a definite asset, but it must be combined with technique and control. It is not like a wide receiver getting behind a defensive back.

Wrong, that is a sport specific test. Faulty test on your part.
“Soccer is not a track meet. Speed is a definite asset, but...”
You keep resetting the penalty kick closer to fit your argument. In your previous post you are the one who set the test as “speed and agility”....soccer can play with any other sport on speed and agility...
Nope. Not speed and strength either.
Now, you want to make it aerobic endurance and agility you might have a case for a tie.
