Fenerbahce central defender Martin Skrtel is known for a few things: crunching tackles, the occasional mental lapse and looking like a movie villain. He is not, however, known for golazos.
But maybe that's about to change. Watch this, y'all.
And now we bring you a long-range solo goal from....Martin Skrtel?! pic.twitter.com/tmQEhewdBw

The sports, they have been good this month.
The Champions League is in full swing. Every college basketball fan on the planet is issuing friendly reminders that THIS IS MARCH. Hockey is doing hockey things. Baseball is still in the background, where it belongs. American football is far enough removed from our sports consciousness that we don't constantly feel guilty for liking it.
So, sports!
When he scores, Celtic winger Scott Sinclair is “magical, wonderful.”
So sings the Hoops ultras supporters group, the Green Brigade, whenever the player, signed over the summer by Brendan Rodgers, does something spectacular.
The Green Brigade’s ode is to the tune of “The Logical Song“ by Supertramp, and it’s infectious.
Striker Francis Kone has a talent on the pitch that few can match: he saves lives. The Togo international, who plays for Slovacko in the Czech league, noticed the opposing keeper, Bohemians' Martin Borkovec, was lying motionless during a match Saturday. Kone ran over and prevented the man from swallowing his own tongue.
After the match, Kone said it was the fourth time he had saved someone's life on the field, with two such incidents happening in Africa and one in Thailand.
Falkirk captain David McCracken found himself stranded on a highway in the middle of a traffic jam caused by UK’s latest snowstorm. Storm Doris prevented McCracken from attending his club’s morning training session. Despite the snow covered highway, the 35-year-old decided to make the most out of the problematic situation.
Determined to get his workout in, the Scottish footballer ditched his vehicle and started stretching in-between the surrounding cars, which we're now calling the David McCracken Snowstorm Workout.
The Spanish city of Seville holds a special place in the hearts of Glasgow’s Celtic supporters. The Andalusian city was the site of the 2003 UEFA Cup Final in which an unfavored Celtic side, managed by Martin O’Neill and captained by the legendary Henrik Larsson, faced off against Porto, led by “The Special One”, Jose Mourinho.
Rangers interim manager Graeme Murty is the Zlatan Ibrahimovic of football managers, in that he does wildly flexible, athletic things for seemingly no reason at all.
Murty got a bit too worked up during a recent match against Dundee and, well, he stood on his head.

For any of us of a certain age, we all remember where we were when the space shuttle Challenger broke apart right after liftoff. Unexpectedly, however, a piece of that ill-fated mission has — 30 years later — made it to Earth’s orbit.
A soccer ball had been on the space shuttle because of Ellison Onizuka. He had brought it with him because his daughter was a soccer player at Clear Lake High School (CLHS) in Houston, Texas. After the disaster, the soccer ball was found floating in the ocean with other pieces of the wreckage.
