Answer

'Go take a shower' is a shortened form of 'Go and take a shower', meaning 'Go (to the bathroom and) take a shower.

'Go play soccer' is a shortened form of, for example,  'Go (outside and) play soccer' or maybe 'Go (to the park and) play soccer'.

These shortened forms are especially common in everyday American English.

Answer

"I like playing soccer." Is used when you're playing soccer. " I like to play soccer." Is used when you talk about what you like to do.
Hope that helped!!!
