Estonia weren't the only country to suffer a Euro 2012 play-off drubbing on Friday night - Turkey lost 3-0 at home Croatia, a game that featured possibly the worst dive ever.
As humiliating as the 3-0 defeat would have been for boss Guus Hiddink's men, it was topped off by a first half dive from Real Madrid's Hamit Altintop, dubbed by Deutsch Türkische Nachrichten as the "most embarrassing dive of the 21st Century".
How Altintop escaped without a yellow card is beyond us, as he very clearly falls to the ground inside the penalty box with his closet opponent at least three feet away from him.
Although German referee Felix Brych didn't hand out the yellow card, we'll forgive the official's actions if he simply admits that he felt pity for Altintop's disgracefully exaggerated actions.
Take a look at the clip above and let us know if you think the midfielder simply dived or tackled to the ground by a vengeful apparition instead.
