Depends: It depends on the speed of the soccer ball when it hit your head, whether you blacked out, etc. If you suffered a concsussion, you may be experiencing a post-concussion headache. If no symptoms now, then continue to monitor. If you have any concerning symptoms, then see your physician. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/headinjuries.html

I don't get it: Where did this soccer ball come from? Was it shot out of a cannon or something? To cause damage, it would have to be. Second, why would you worry about "damage" that causes no symptoms? Is that really the question you meant to ask?
