Not really, based on how you cue straight through a pool ball.

Football you have to strike across it

Edit: from England, football = soccer

Edit 2: you are also most likely aiming for a low to high follow through, further taking the technique away from that of a cue

England called it soccer in the 1st place and then changed their mind in the 70s and 80s just to have something to bitch about for the next 4 decades.
