As far as soccer action shots, this is not much to speak of. But it ended up being the only one I took that combined noticeable action, the ball in play and an angle other than the back of my son's head.... That is him in the middle taking the ball upfield. I would like to tell you that he left the defenders in the dust and had a great scoring chance....but, I'm pretty sure that's not what happened. It was a good game though, soggy though it was.
