    Before we create a poll on this, let's get some submissions...

    Here are my two cents:

    Panchito Mendoza, Eddie Gaven, Kyle Martino, Chris Rolff...

    Chime in!:cool:

    Justin Mapp, Blanco, Christian Gomez, Claudio Reyna (see USA vs. Ghana 2006 World Cup).

    Yeah Blanco, you don't even have to make contact with him to knock him off his feet.

    Bullshit. Blanco is easy to knock off his feet, but there is contact 100% of the time.

    Besides the real answer to this thread is Calen Carr.

    You're right. There is usually contact involving Blanco going down. It's usually something like a handshake. I wonder if Blanco falls down when his daughter holds his hand while walking down Michigan Ave.

    Ruiz gets 24 votes. If your heart beats too loud, he falls down holding his ears, screaming in agony.
    Alvarez get a nod as well

    Yeah, definitely Kenny Cooper. I forget who it was, but somebody dove in last year's cup final and Khano Smith said: Get the ******** up!

    Blanco for and Ruiz are neck and neck. It's just part of their culture.

    Seconded (or thirded or whatever). Emilio's had some good tumbles this year too for a bigger guy. I wouldn't have necessarily picked him out as a flopper last year. Maybe his sturdiness is inversely proportional to his scoring success.

    He hasn't played as much, and not too many other than us DC fans have seen him, but Franco Niell falls a LOT. But I don't think due to flopping, dude is just so little (5'4, 150 lbs)

    I thought about Niell too. But this is a two-horse race between Ruiz and Blanco. Which is funny since they are also probably the two dirtiest players in the league when they don't have the ball.

    Cowards.

    ps. Alé Moreno also goes down faster than a $5 whore.
