Definately something faster, like an 80-200 2.8 THe
long leans, I have a Sigma 80-400 OS is great, but too
slow for fast action, I usa a Nikon 80-200 2-8 and
love it. Our local amateur radio club helps out with
communication for the local soccer tournament, and I
use that chance to build up my portfolio. We run 190
games over a 3 day weekend.
