My first Pro-Soccer match

Had the chance to shoot the Club America vs Inter Milan match. Long story, but, was suppose to be on the end but wound up having to shoot from the side with my 200-400 f4. Luckily the light was mostly behind me. Club America won in PK's.

When I was growing up, soccer was thought of as a non contact sport. You proved that wrong. Love the sport, love the pictures even more. Greart job!

Nice catch on that play on the goalie. Did ya get the resulting red card as well?

I also love the Inter player with his arms around the defender in the 1st pic of your second batch.

Next time let them know you need an assistant shooter to go with you & I'll join ya ;)

Thanks,
There was a red card involved but it was delayed because the goalie wound up elbowing the player in the Goolies in the subsequent collision. The player was down for a while and was insulted with the red card after he got up.

The arm around the player in that play wound up in a full on headlock.

Nice! Great series, and glad the keeper got to dish out a little payback. Having played keeper a bit in the past, I know its rare you get a chance to dish out a little payback for the abuse you take, but when you do get the chance, you can usually get away with a bit extra before being called on it.. Good times... ;)
