Wow. Those are some pretty general questions and there could be hundreds of different responses to each of them. I'll give you a general exercise overview because it is probably the only question where I could post the shortest response.
This is going to be very general but here goes;
Soccer can be broken down into skill and physical ability, so here are the 2 main areas for you to concentrate on. Physical ability in soccer can be broken down again into endurance, which works your slow twitch muscles, and speed, which works your fast twitch muscles. Endurance allows you to run, whether it be a slow jog or a faster canter, for the full 90 minutes. Speed allows you to beat an opposing player or recover over a short distance. The exercises you need to do to develop in these areas are pretty obvious; long distance running and cardio vascular training for endurance so that you can increase your body's threashold to lactic acid build up in your muscles. For speed you need to develop your quad muscles and ability to develop explosive power by resistence sprinting over short distances.
I hope this was not too long winded but I could go on and on.
