Exactly. Height in soccer wouldn't serve anything other than maybe being able to jump higher than others to head a ball. A 6'5 guy is going to have a hard time rapidly changing direction, maintaining balance, pivoting, etc., versus a 5'11 man.
In basketball, a short guy is much easier to block, and can't attack the rim nearly as effectively as a taller player.
