What is the connection between you practising football and the other person failing a test?

It seems to be a question, but why did you use an exclamation mark, please?

KhoshtipManIt seems to be a question, but so why did you use an exclamation mark, please?
That's not how it reads to me. I parse it as an emphatic imperative.
e.g.,
Don't fail your test.
Don't you fail your test, boy! [emphatic]
