Hi Hyuna27,
Well, they all mean pretty much the same thing - a very powerful shot. One difference is that thunder and crash are both verbs, while a ripper, refers to the shot or goal and is a noun. Therefore, you could have 'The player thundered in a ripper!' - but this would be a little unusual!
Other verbs used to describe powerful shots are -
To smash the ball in/home
To hammer home
Hope that helps,
Damon
