Looks Like Strasbourg Has an Actual Terrier
Maybe we're seeing a new Ligue 1 club finding its footing.
Racing Club Strasbourg stunned French football fans -- and likely those all over Europe, too -- by being the first club this season to defeat the nouveau riche Paris-St Germain.
Dudes followed that up with a trip to Bordeaux that nailed down three more points for their first-year campaign to show they're in France's premier division to stay.
One surprise Le Racing has unleased on the world is a feisty little dude who plays with the tenacity of a terrier on a postman's butt.
That's what speed can do, and Martin Terrier has it.
Check out this end-to-end goal that looked more like what you'd expect to see in a hockey game:
Nice touch at the end, there.
The 'keeper definitely didn't expect a bender after a run like that.
It's too early to tell whether or not Strasbourg will become a Ligue 1 mainstay, but if they can produce effort like this and their upset of PSG every now and then, they're a good bet to find a mid-table home.
And that's not just barking at the moon, either.
Take it from there, Ozzie ...
