According to this article ( http://www.nacion.com/ln_ee/2009/octubre/09/deportes2117538.html ), Saprissa got it based on their game-by-game record in continental tournaments, in which they participated more frequently than Mexican clubs (who sometimes didn't bother playing in a tournament because of location or other reasons) and so improved their standing so that they can lay claim to this title.

well saprissa has been the only one with huevos to eliminate mexican clubs and they always represent costarica,even though their last 2 CCL have not been that good we cant forget what they did before,i respect saprissa only because they have proven themselves and nobody has giving them nothing for free just like us.

that is a joke
the Concacaf club of the 20th century is Club America.
Copa Libertadores > Concacaf Champions Cup
America reached the semi´s of Libertadores in the last year of the 20th century
Mexican League > Concacaf Champions Cup
besides at the end of the 20th Century America had 4 Concacaf Titles and Saprissa only 2

you can make an argument for chivas, and even cruz azul because they won all 5 of their concacaf titles in the 20th century.
Toluca´s dominance came late in the 20th century and throughout the 21 century, thats why I wouldn´t pick them
but to pick a non mexican team is just good for a laugh

Stupid poll. # of CONCACAF titles should be the sole determinant. That's why the tournament exists

Obviously the answer is DC United, Marco Etcheverry was player of the century and RFK was venue of the century, hot dogs are game day food of the century, bud lite the official beer of the century and the 1998 USA national team was the CONCACAF national team of the century.

Yeah that list is bogus.
5. TRANSVAAL
really? They were good for about a decade and that's it. How does that qualify them to be "top ten of the century". I would maybe put them at #5 if this were "clubs of the 1970s" but I'm pretty sure it says "20th century" instead so how the heck did they do the rankings?
Cruz Azul should be #1. They won the most titles AND they did it over a longer span of time (technically, they won a title in 3 different decades - the 60s, 70s, and 90s).
Saprissa had a few good runs in the 70s (although no championships) and then no one heard from them again until the early 90s...
