Wow, those are some very impressive images in that link. I have much to learn about the 5DIII's new AF system :)

I went through the images too - I suspect the quality is down to the individual rather than the kit.
From (only a little) experience I saw only minor differences between the AF of the 1D4 and the 5dIII. The posters only comment on th missed shots - however at 10fps they would have more good images as well. As a default I have the 1D4 on low burst speed and hardly get any missed shots.
With a 400 f/2.8 it is hard (when handholding) to keep the focus point in the right place at all times with fast moving objects - I miss quite a few even with the 70-200@200 but looking where the AF point is verifies it is my fault :( and it is doubly hard with the 400. Taking shots at lower fps gives the human more of a chance to get the AF point in the right place.

I'd have to agree. For every 1 time I blame my gear for poor results, I blame myself 99 times :)
Regardless of which body has the better AF system, I'm just thrilled that the 5DIII's AF is good enough to even be compared to the 1DIV. I would have never dreamed of such a thing 3 months ago. For serious sports shooting, IMHO the 1DIV certainly has its advantages in terms of burst rate and a larger buffer.

Sorry V8 no pics! :) I have read so many posts across several forums just to educate myself and ran across that one and thought it may be helpful...
