Beckham, sorry could help but post the ignorant American Soccer fan post.

I would say:

Tiger hands down, Federer in a landslide for second, no one has dominated their sport like these two this decade.

Kobe wasn't ever an MVP of the playoffs until this year, he had arguably the most dominant force in basketball on his team since MJ.

I would not put a Basketball player in the top 4 actually, as Lebron is probably the most dominant individual on the court, but that rarely leads to victory(champs, not single games), even Kobe needed Bynum and Gasol.

Tom Brady, would be up there, except his truly most dominant performance came when he had one of the top 2/3 WR in the game, and then they lost the big game. Even though for the better part of the decade his team was unstoppable in the post season, the last few have not been great.

The other thing that puts Lids above the last couple mentioned is that he is very rarely injured, of the people on this list the only other one who can say that is Federer.

As far as futbol, it is so hard, with so many teams now, between club teams and national teams, their is a new superstar after every tournament and season.

Ronaldinho, Kaka, Messi, Ronaldo, even Henry was the most dominant for a stretch, it is so tough for a soccer player to be dominant for a long period of time, again with the massive amount of teams in the world and now the fact that it is a world sport (In the fact that the leagues in all countries are now made up of players from all countries!)

Even in the early 2000 there was World Cup soccer and EUFA league, sure Bundesliga and others were around, but not as big as they are today.

Spanish leagues were not nearly the dominant force they are now, hell Barcelona would never have got the players they have this year in 2000, 01, 02 maybe even up until 04.

Sure they got some names, but not the kind of names Barcelona is throwing money at! Remember when the only team throwing money around like that was either Liverpool or Manch U! (Maybe Chelsea, but sure as hell not Blackburn!)

I don't know much about soccer, but Tiger hasn't been more dominant than Federer. As far as consistency in major tournaments, Federer is way ahead of Tiger.

He might be ahead, but it isn't necessarily a landslide... Tiger has won 12 majors since the beginning of the decade, and 56 PGA tour wins all together. That's serious business right there.

It's hard to compare the two sports, but Federer makes it to at least the semis in every single tournament he's in. Also, I think tennis is more of a sport than golf. Golf is difficult, but so is brain surgery and that isn't a sport either.
