When you look at the EXIF data of these images, can you comment on:

a) Why not using AUTO ISO?

b) Why not using Evaluative Metering?

c) Have you considered using Exposure Compensation?

d) Have you considered adjusting the saturation, contrast and sharpening of the Standard Picture Profile?

e) When you look at some of the sharpness and subject movement in the fast action details of each image, have you considered why 1/500 sec in this daylight setting instead of say 1/1000 sec?

Apologies for missing a timely reply to our PM discussion, but these are the same areas I meant to forward earlier this week. "Homework" is a great description.

Changing the ISO to AUTO, you can do that multiple ways. There's a button on the top of the camera or via the Q menu. See the manual, if needed.

Changing the metering back to Evaluative also can be done multiple ways. There's a button on the top of the camera or via the Q menu. See the manual, if needed.

If you go to Manual to control both the Shutter Speed and Aperture, you can leverage the advance EOS technology of your 5DIV by using both Exposure Compensation and AUTO ISO. See page 252 on your manual for the how-to. I'd set to +0.7 "to the right" of the 0-mark in the meter.

Finally with the configuration changes above, in manual you can move seamlessly between any shutter speed while maintaining the same f/5.6 aperture and the camera maintains the same slightly 'bright' exposure at +0.7EC.

If you look at Jimmy's edit above, he added some contrast and saturation. You can do this in camera by changing the Standard Picture Profile, see page 187. Try the following updates:

Sharpness = 4
Sharp Fineness = 2
Sharp Threshold = 3
Contrast = +1 (over 0)
Saturation = +1 (over 0)

Make sure your camera Picture Style is set to Standard (from AUTO).

Wow you are mean this is hard but I am up to it will take some time so bear with me k :)

Shutter priority at 1000th of a second minimum. Auto ISO. Always shoot a burst anticipating the beginning of action and lasting through peak action. Get in tight! To do that you need to get down on the field or get a bigger lens. Shooting from the stand gives the feeling of being OUT of the action. Soccer is one of the most interesting sports in the world (if you know the game) and that is why it is the most popular game in the world!
