Soccer player takes flopping to a new level by turning tiny shove into full front flip
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Portland Timbers forward Lucas Melano might have a future in gymnastics after soccer. The 22-year-old Argentinian raised the bar for floppers everywhere on Saturday night against Real Salt Lake when he took a tiny shove into the back and made it a floor routine.

Poor guy is paralyzed. He can’t believe what he witnessed.
