CONCACAF Club Rankings - Top 25 Clubs in North America and Latin America-May 21st, 2012
1.) Santos Laguna (FMF) - Santos retains the top spot after defeating Monterrey in the Liguilla Finals 3-2 (agg). Even though Santos lost to Monterrey in the CONCACAF Champions League Finals, they were able to dominate the end of the season winning the regular season Clausura and winning the Clausura Liguilla.
2.) Tigres UANL (FMF) - Idle due to the FMF season being over.
3.) Monterrey (FMF) - Monterrey finishes their season in the CCR Top 3. They had a weak start in the Apertura going 7-3-7, but they were able to finish the season with a strong run. They were able to defeat Santos in the CCL, but they were the 2nd best club in the FMF over the last half of the season.
4.) Morelia (FMF) - Idle due to the FMF season being over.
5.) Seattle Sounders FC (MLS) - The Sounders hold on to the last spot in this week's CCR Top 5 with a 2-2 draw against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. It is going to be difficult for Major League Soccer clubs to stay in the top 5 throughout the season. Seattle has a busy week coming up. They will be facing the Columbus Crew (52) at home on Wednesday. They will the be going on the road to face Chivas (54) on Saturday. These are two of the weaker clubs in MLS, so Seattle can look to regain some ground in the rankings.
