Soccer - Canada vs South Korea (Women)

Some from tonight's game, shot with 7D and Sigma 100-300/4 combo. C&C welcome and appreciated!

#1

I have this lens and I love it. I like the look of these. I wish this game had been on cable last night.

It was only a webcast. So disappointing that US soccer is so hard to find televised.

It's been 22 hours without comment so here goes:
#1 looks soft
#2 I'm curious why the feet look blurrier than faces. Is this the entire image or cropped. Is the lens soft in the corners?
#3 While interesting that you have an apparent goal, this is a missed shot. Focus is on the #6 player who has taken a tumble. Who took the shot? What's the story? Everyone is a spectator.
#4 is a bit of a blurry mess. While this one shows physical interaction it is not all that good. Shutter should have been faster, is this about 1/500 or 1/640?
Except for #2 the rest have a bit of a green hue

Hi Joel, have to agree with ChunkyDa, these aren't your best. I saw highlights on TV, looks like the photogs were kept quite aways back and behind some rather tall advertising structures. Probably was harder to get good angles.

It was a good game, the South Koreans came to play and the Canadians were napping for a good part of the first half but their keeper kept them in the game. The score was 3-0 for the Canadians but it sure did not reflect the play on the field.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I must admit it was not my best outing and I think I made a mistake in opting for reach over a faster lens (brought the 100-300/4 vs the 70-200/2.8). Shutter was around 1/640-1/800 and I had the ISO cranked on the 7D. I must be in summer mode still, expecting some daylight at 7pm now is quite foolish.

I'm wondering if the green hue you are seeing is the reflection of the stadium lights off the turf.

Accessibility wasn't an issue, I think it was actually better behind the goal lines as the last game I shot in the spring at Commonwealth. Lots more photogs in attendance, though.
