Video: Clearly practiced set-piece goes abysmally wrong

My word!

Ben Kiely

This is a prime example of how to ruin a set-piece you probably spent hours trying to master in training

Fans watching the recent Tunisian Cup clash between Hammam-Sousse and Club Athletique will have witnessed a truly special moment in the history of the beautiful game. A moment when an attempted intricate set-piece was executed with all the delicate subtlety of using a flamethrower to light the candles on birthday cake.

Watch as one player’s fake run (because they always fool the opposition) preceded perhaps the most abysmally struck free kick of all time.

It’s so horrifically awful that you’d be forgiven for thinking that he was attempting to pick out a teammate on the opposing flank.  No, no. He was trying to loft it into the box.
