I have no idea how long it takes to get good at football, but ten years... I doubt that.
If you look at how long it takes to get good at basketball, I'd say it's probably in the same range. Most of the basic rules are similar, I think. Of course the field is much larger, and you have twice the players plus a goalkeeper, but other than that...
Then again, I know nothing about the rules of basketball, really (despite having played it in the vast majority of recess periods from age 12 to 15).
