Domain appraisals are a surefire way to make money... for the domain appraisor.
It's worth what someone will pay and, in general, no two people will pay the same amount for the same thing. The value is truly in the eye of the beholder.
There are many factors in what makes a name valuable, and very little of it can be controlled.
What's the TLD? How long is the name? Is it one word or made up of several? Is it easy to remember? To spell? to say? How well does it describe it's contents (that's where the rubber meets the road)?
Is it something that is frequently searched for? e.g. is it a popular keyword?
In your example "soccerground.com", you pointed out that soccer.net and soccerleague.com are worth some good money. That would make sense to mee as soccer.net is one word. It's not .com, but it's still useful. Soccer League is a phrase familar to me, so that makes sense. I can't say I've ever heard the phrase "soccer ground" before, "soccer field", yes. Is there a locality where "soccer ground" is a commonly used phrase? if so, it would have value there. Anywhere else, it's just a contrived word and you might as well just coin some word like "soccerlicious" or "soccerextreme".
I'd love to give you the magic answer, but, there truly isn't one.
