Ever heard of Mohd Faiz Subri?
Of course you haven’t. Because even though you’re a football hipster who can name the Red Star Belgrade reserves back four without even thinking, you haven’t yet cast your eye as far as the Malaysian Super League.
So you won’t know that old Mohd plays for Penang FA, usually as a forward or a winger. His Wikipedia page says he is “also notable for scoring spectacular free kicks.” And how. Take a look at this doozy, which he scored against rival club Pahang FA in a league match in February last year.

It seems to defy physics as it curls and swerves it’s way past the keeper and into the net.
And for his troubles, Mohd has only gone and won the FIFA Puskas Award for the best goal of the year.
