During a recent soccer match from Poland, Polonia Warsaw striker Lukasz Teodorczyk made himself look silly when he took a dive after being barely touched by Lech Poznan's Luis Henriquez.
It happened in the second half as both players got tangled up going after the ball. The ref blew the whistle, but things got heated as Teodorczyk and Henriquez went nose to nose.
From the video, Henriquez appeared to give Teodorczyk a very light head butt to Teodorczyk's nose. However, as evidence to how lightly Teodorczyk may have been touched, he had a chance to finish his sentence and think about it for a second before grabbing his face and falling to the ground, pretending to be in unbelievable pain.
To the referees, however, the only thing unbelievable was Teodorczyk's acting, so they gave him a yellow card for lack of sportsmanship.
