I wouldn't worry about the soccer game behavior. As a soccer dad myself, I can say that goofing off/not paying attention on the sideline is an age-appropriate behavior.

My DD did have a teammate whose mom confirmed she had an ADHD diagnosis, and that was more noticeable when the child was on the field than when she was on the bench.
