no it cant be unless you use pentagons and octagons like on a soccer ball

That is an unbelievably rubbish answer! Tessellation - unless otherwise specified - refers to covering a 2-d surface, not the surface of a sphere. Normal soccer balls do not have pentagons and octagons but pentagons and hexagons.

An octagon, by itself will not tessellate. In combination with a square it is possible to tessellate a plane.
