I voted for Van bommel. I mean, he did that dirty tackles in EVERY match he played, and he never got booked twice. Sometimes he didn't even got booked once!
There were vuvuzelas, the pathetic Jabulani and depressing national teams, but a dirty player like that should have been sent out. Period. No arguing about it. That implies bad referees. Surely you may not see a goal half a meter inside the goal line, that's human. But all the referees have seen him doing his job again and again. Come on.
By the way, I would put Messi out of this list. He did great for what he had around. He set up a lot of the argentina goals and he tried to do something, although he was inmersed in complete chaos.
I strongly suggest to put Maradona in the list instead of Messi, as we all know everything was down to the worst coach I've ever seen.

referees mistakes very by far the worst and most important flops.. not seeing fouls comes along with this... so Van Bommel invisible fouls is not needed to be choosed..

Championship
there were many of them Italy, France and England are nearly the same position also the way Argentna has benn kicked out by germany and the ridicolous convocations of maradona and Lippi
also I would add Felipe Melo he lost the game against Holland by his own
it is absolutely no flop but I was also very dissapointed or better surprised by the way germany faced spain in that time of the competition, with their potential and after all the good things they've done
ald also the referees, the vuvuzuelas and this jabulani idiot ball
it is hard to say but this world cup was a bigger mess then corea japan imho

I would take out Drogba and Messi.
All other ones have their cases and were disappointing one way or another.

I like Unicorns
Of course France.
Maybe weird but I quite enjoyed the vuvuzelas (I'm the only here perhaps). Why? Because is part of South Africa. I would like to saw even more more color in the crowd, more smell of african culture.

there are many,i hate vuvuzela but its something traditional for them so cant call it flop at all,Grass quality,the ball,Ronaldo are in 3 for me
Torres can't be a Flop. I already rated him very low BEFORE the World Cup. He's been bad this season because of injuries and lack of shape. So it was not knew to me.
Still, you may be right at some degree because he was even worse than I thought. I can't recall him doing ANYTHING right, not even a single pass.

C. Ronaldo is the biggest troll that soccer ever have, most overrated player since years, he play only for the gallery and for himself, no teamplayer. i like the style from Inesta and Müller, back to old school football, please no more flipfloppengbumknallbooom
