Soccer or football at night

I would go with 640th if you can but if the light falls drop to 400th.Mk2 & 3's can easily handle noise at that level of ISO.

Ah i see.
I think the lights in this stadium is great, maybe they need to add more and fix the damaged and i am sure i can use 1/800 at ISO800 too.

If they do then you could switch to f4 for better dof instead of 800!

I see, but why? isn't that f2.8 giving more blurry background? sometimes in some directions even with 2.8 you have some distracting BG and to use f4 too?

Sometimes f2.8 is too shallow and may get the ball or even one of the players out of focus as a result. With f4 you should be ok.If your not having any of those then carry on at f2.8.
