Hurt my tailbone playing soccer, could it be broken?

Yes, and no...: I don't know the mechanism of your particular soccer injury, but you can certainly injure the coccyx or tailbone playing any sport, especially if you fall directly onto it. The only definitive way to say if the coccyx is actually broken is to x-ray it or perform some other radiography such as ct/mri.
