Thank you!
Ok, i can tell about the equipment used, but the settings are different of each or almost all of them during the change of lighting condition, so if you need you can choose which shots and i can provide the details about those shots individually.
I used Canon 1DX and EF 300mm f2.8IS mark1 for all those photos, the shutter speed i try to keep at at about 1/1600-1/2000, the f-stop is between 2.8 and 3.5 if i can remember, ISO are changing, from 640 during the time before the sunset few minutes to around 10000 after the sunset for some shots, mostly were around 4000-6400.
These are great action shots by the way, my favorite is #3.
Do you shoot raw, or are these jpgs out of the camera?
True, those are only almost daylight or the time before the sunset time without the floodlights, but you really interested in to see the night shots of the game?!!! I feel no body really interested in my post.
All RAW then processed and converted to JPEG.
Yes, I'm interested, and would love any criticism you care to provide on mine as well. I'm enjoying shooting Soccer more and more, but it is hard. The field is big, the lights are dim (at least in my venue) and the action fast, so it's a technical challenge. But i'm also trying to understand better what kind of action and perspective real soccer fans like.
I'm also interested that you did this with a 300. Did you wait for the action to come to you, or are those pretty extreme crops? I mostly use a 400 for soccer, and even that's a bit short. Or long -- switching to another body as the action charges up field is a challenge if it's a real rush. For day games I've been using a 80-400 zoom a bit -- I hate the F5.6 (relative to separation), but I love that I can shoot the whole field with one lens.
For me it's mostly college soccer. Here's the most recent night game:

I'm sorry you didn't get the feedback you wanted -- some postings here get none, some get a lot, never quite know what catches people's attention. I think in part if the shots are well executed people have less to suggest, so they say nothing.
I am interested in seeing more soccer photos. Also, I'd be interested in knowing where you were positioned on the filed to get the shots you posted. If you have a link to a website with more photos, I'd be interested in that as well.
#2 and #6 are my favorites.
