I am hoping Derek W can chip in here. 
I want to have a bash at snapping a couple of pre season friendlies. One game is an afternoon kick off, the other in the evening.
I have a Nikon D7100 and will hire the Nikon 70 - 200mm f2.8 lens.
From what I have read so far you want to be low to the ground to capture the action if possible.
In terms of camera settings, I guess that continuous focus would be better, what about metering?
I imagine because of the fast paced nature I wouldn't want to be in manual mode, so is aperture priority the best way to go?
