For football and soccer I would have gone with the 400/2.8.

I saw no reason to have an expensive 400mm lens sitting around doing nothing for ten months of the year.

For indoor sports I would have gone xx-200 f2.8 or even f4 with possibility of adding 1.4x. The shorter zoom with 1.4x would also come in handy on the field.

I already have the 70-200mm f2.8 Mark II (it's in my gear list) and I use it with a 1.4X teleconverter.

I also have three or four other lenses I use for indoor sports.
