Yeah ... well, he flopped on that one, too.

He got tripped a little bit ... and then he went into little bitch full-blown flop mode, as if he'd just been shot in the back.

There is a difference between a flop and an embellishment.

The embellishment is kind of annoying but you can't fault Robben for going down and getting the PK. I agree with Alexi Lalas on this one. If someone fouls you and knocks you off balance, you should go down if the foul took away your chance to get a clean shot or pass. If you stay up and try to play the ball, the ref will often let it play due to advantage, even though you are now at a disadvantage.
