When you drive a car and stop it is because of friction you stopped. If there was no friction your car won't stop and will slide. Friction also helps with waking, if there was no friction with every step you take you would slip. Friction lets your foot stay in one spot while you move the other foot. Ice has no friction so it is hard to walk on and hard to brake on (if driving a car.)

Why is friction un-useful in sports?

Friction is sometimes not useful as when a player drives forward in a wet condition the ball slows down due to the friction so it is harder to control and difficult to get a shot away. Also a player can lose momentum during fast strides or slip in wet conditions. The ball will slow down because of the friction with the grass so it is easier for the goalkeeper to save it.
