First of thank you all for your advice on shooting football. It was a good learning experience as by the end of the match I was starting to predict the play better.
The weather was very poor so the 60d struggled with the sigma 150-500mm but the 5d mkII did a great job, I have never understood why people say its got bad AF for sports as it works like a star for me. Looks like the 300mm f4 is jumping to the top of my shopping list.

A few things I learned already
* I should have shoot .RAW rather than .JPG
* I should not have used the zoom as much on the 150-500 (I was planning to tape the zoom like I would do for a remote)
* Ingestive PW FlexTT5 and stopping them going to sleep so my remote did not fire most of the time
I am already looking forward to my next match as soon as I can get the time. What do people think any constructive criticism is welcome.
