I 2nd WilbaW on posting some images showing what you're getting now and let someone who's used both lenses confirm that you'll get the results you're hoping for. That's a lot to spend to find out you're still not able to get what you want. If the soccer games are played by younger kids, they're on small fields and f/2.8 still may not be enough for you. An 85 f/1.8 or 135 f/2 might work better and be a lot cheaper.

I was thinking this also... Maybe the 100 f2 to throw in as an option. It's also not some pro game where he can't move around as much or stuck in a press area.

+1 for the 100 f/2. It works well for small fields or for "indoor" soccer. The only challenge is that in bright light you can get some CA when shooting wide open.
