Getty Images are a company who photograph a very wide range of football matches they have photographers at a pretty much every major game.

This first image shows two players battling for the ball in a game, the sort of shutter speed that would have to be used wouldn't have been that quick as the two players at this point wouldn't have been moving that quickly, but the photographer probably would have had a high shutter speed at a likely minimum of 1/500 of a second to capture the players when they were in full sprint.

Here the players are not likely to have been moving that quick so you wouldn't need a quick shutter speed but because the action before it was moving quite quickly the photographer is likely to have been shooting using a fast shutter speed, one of around 1/250 could easily get this as they have done during the action the speed would have likely to have been around 1/500 of a second. I feel that regardless of shutter speed used this would have created a brilliant image like the one he has got.

This image would have been taken at a fast shutter speed this would have to be done because the ball is likely to have been moving at such a speed that a high shutter around 1/750 to 1/1000 a second would have to be required to get this image, you can attempt it at 1/500 of a second but it probably wouldn't be anywhere near as good, it might bean ok photo, but it is not worth risking it.
