Of course you can do this task WITHOUT a physics engine. Look at all those old FIFA Soccer titles (N64, PSOne) and so on, they didnt had a physicsengine, of course.

So you may ask yourself: am I able to write my own physics?

Sure, physics for a soccer game are enhancing the degree of realism but maybe you dont need it... you can also try the Newton physics engine, of course, so you dont have to pay 200$..
