Is this the most egregious dive of all time?

If you're a fan of beautiful soccer, avert your eyes. We've stumbled upon a sensational piece of hilarity from Poland, where GKS Jastrzebie midfielder Wojciech Canibol pulled off one of the world's best/worst dives of all time. Just watch this nonsense:

That isn't even remotely close. Credit (I guess) Canibol for the sell job to win the penalty. He leaps as though he hit an invisible trampoline and goes tumbling head over heels, even though Wigry Suwalki keeper Karol Salik doesn't touch him.

The fine folks on Reddit's soccer subreddit (where we found this video) have an annual award for such Oscar-worthy acting, the counterpart to the Ballon d'Or: the Fallon d'Floor. Canibol's swan dive is sure to be in the running for the finalists.

In the end, the soccer gods made sure that Wigry Suwalki weren't hard done by the Canibol's affront. They wound up winning the match, 2-1.
