100 seconds conservatively as I can run the 400 in 53 but have no soccer skills....
On my own I am guessing 2 minutes
As part of a 20 person relay?? Look out WR
As a 54.X 400 runner and someone who plays select soccer at a highly competitive level, I bet I could go ~75 seconds realistically. It's probably +/- 5 seconds from 75 seconds.
Bale would be the quickest. Would he break 60?

You can't kick a soccer ball around a track. When you kick a ball, it travels in a relatively straight line. There is no way to kick it so that it would travel in an oval. Also, no one can kick a soccer ball 400m.

Messi would be the quickest. He would be the only one who could do the turn
Actually I think Bale might have a really hard time going around the curve. His right foot is hilariously bad
Interesting question. What would the world record be? What about dribbling a basketball?
Would they have to stay in lanes? That might make things really tough in both events.
The corners would be way too hard to take at a high speed. I bet that the world record could be right around 60 by assuming a 12 second straight and an 18 second corner.
Many could do it under 60. When you enter the home-straight you just kick the ball to the finish line and sprint like mad.
I think most people would kick it off the track and DQ.

You're all answering a different question than the OP asked. The above is the answer. You might be able to DRIBBLE a soccer ball around a track, but you cannot KICK the ball around the track. Kicking involves a single strike with the foot. Dribbling is when you use your feet to control the ball in a continuous fashion.

It could possibly be done with the right weather conditions e.g swirling wind or a hurricane perhaps
This brings up the idea of the "Balls out" mile.
Lap 1: dribble soccer ball (with feet, obviously)
Lap 2: Carry football
Lap 3: dribble basketball (with hands, obviously)
Lap 4: Carry 10 pound bowling ball.
How fast could you do it?

What is the track surface? Basketballs don't as well on a standard rubberized track as they do asphalt...

You've forgotten the beer. It could lead to the bowling ball dribble mile.

That is because you do not know how to curve a soccer ball. An experienced player could do this easily.
None of you could do this as fast as you think. I doubt most pros could even do sub 70. Has anybody here even dribbled a soccer ball?

Ok, we're getting closer to a really good challenge. But we must eliminate "carry football". That's stupid and too easy.
The Balls Out Beer Mile:
1 beer before each lap, just like a conventional Beer Mile.
Lap 1: dribble soccer ball (with feet, obviously)
Lap 2: dribble basketball (with hands, obviously)
Lap 3: Carry 10 pound bowling ball.
Lap 4: Balls backwards. (Backwards running, that is.)
If the audience is appropriate, the last laps should be done literally "Balls Out".
