Soccer is not be the easiest sport to officate and I would caution you to be very careful about trying to be a referee for a sport that you do not understand. If you are not very familiar with the game, and you say that you are not, I would highy recommend that you spend a lot of time watching a lot of youth games, rec league games, MS, HS games and start to get a feel for it. There are a lot of nuances to soccer that the average fan as no clue about. You might even try to be an assistant coach or heper for a younger rec league team first. It's a great game and I love it.
What other sports are you familar with? You might consider one that you know well first, and add soccer later.
