You have never, in your entire life, seen a free-kick hit as hard as this

Thwack!

We believe the words are 'absolute' and 'thunderbastard'. We already have the Ligue 2 goal of the season and it's not even August yet. Patrik Eler is a Czech striker, newly signed for Nancy from the magnificently-named Wacker Innsbruck, and this goal from his debut against Orleans will live for long in the memory. The frontman lined up a free-kick from all of 35 yards and, when he let fly the ball stayed so hit that he don't know how Eler didn't burst the net. This is frightening. https://twitter.com/LeeThomasMason/status/891241060927643650
