I did not want to develop an All-CONCACAFA team.  I preferred doing more in depth and detailed all-time teams.  However, during a trip to Africa, I decided to do an All-African team. Afterward, I continued with an All-CONCACAFA team.  I am unlikely to do an All-Europe or South American team.

The Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football is better known as CONCACAFA.  It is  is the third-most successful FIFA confederation. Both the United States and Mexico have hosted successful World Cup Finals.  The USMNT finished 3rd in the 1930 World Cup Finals.  Cuba, Costa Rica and Mexico have reached the quarterfinal of the World Cup Finals.

Honorable Mention
Salvador Reyes (Mexico), Carlos Salcido (Mexico), Horacio Casarín (Mexico)David Suazo (Honduras), Paulo Wanchope (Costa Rica),  Rolando Fonseca (Costa Rica), Bryan Oviedo (Costa Rica),  Mauricio Solis (Costa Rica), Alejandro Morera Soto (Costa Rica), Eddie Pope (USA), Billy Gonsalves (USA), Michael Bradley (USA), Shaka Hislop (T&T), Craig Forest (Canada), Kasey Keller (USA), Luis Gabelo Conejo (Costa Rica), Jorge Campos (Mexico),  Frank Sinclair (Jamaica), Ricardo Gardner (Jamaica) Antonio Carbajal (Mexico), Juan Tuñas ( Cuba),  Wilson Palacios (Honduras), David Suazo (Honduras), José Cardona (Honduras), Oscar "Conejo" Sánchez (Guatemala),  Jorge Dely Valdés (Panama),  Alphonso Davis (Canada).

Squad Explaination
-- This blog team is very "Eurocentric".  Most players were selected for theor club careers in Europe.
-- Hugo Sanchez (Mexico) is probably the greatest player from this region.  He was known as "Hugoal".  Some said that Magico Gonzalez (El Salvador) would be a bigger star if he was from Brazil or Argentina or if he played for a big club in Europe.  Julio Dely Valdes and Dwight Yorke were also big stars in Europe when they were active players.
-- As expected, the team is dominated by American and Mexican players.  The USA-Mexico rivalry is one of the most fierce rivalry in national team football.
-- Costa Rica reached the quarterfinal of the 2014 World Cup Finals before losing to Netherlands in a penalty shootout.  Only Keylor Navas was selected into this team.  I feel that the other players have not accomplished as much as some of the players selected.  The United States and Mexico also did well in previous World Cup Finals.
-- I took the three goalkeepers with the most decorated career playing in Europe. Keylor Navas won two Champions' league with Real Madrid.  Brad Freidel had one of the longest career in the English Premiership. Then, I took Tim Howard (USA) who had done well playing in England.  Shaka Hislop (T&T), Craig Forest (Canada), Kasey Keller (USA), Luis Gabelo Conejo (Costa Rica), Jorge Campos (Mexico) and Antonio Carbajal (Mexico) are some of the great keepers from this region.
-- Gustavo Pena (Mexico) was the captain of Mexico in both 1966 and 1970 World Cup Finals.  Steve Cherundolo (USA) was underrated.  He had a stunning career with Hanover 96.
-- Claudio Suarez is the Mexico's cap record holder with 178(third all-time in the world).
-- Bruce Wilson was selected because of his NASL career.  There was some sort of romance about that era.  He was a six-time all-star selection in an era when NASL was full of international star players. He also led Canada in the 1986 World Cup Finals, which was historical significance. I took him over Carlos Salcido (Mexico).  Alphonso Davis will one day replace him.  He has outdone many players in the region.
-- Rafael Marquez (Mexico), Steve Cherundolo (USA), Thomas Dooley (USA), Emilio Izaguirre (Honduras) and Wes Morgan (Jamaica) have remarkable career playing in Europe as well. 
-- Wes Morgan was the captain of Leicester when they won their Preimership.  
-- Rafael Marquez is the first Mexican to win the European Champions' League. 
-- Players not from the bigger European or South American countries seldom won Player of the Award. Emilio Izaguirre won the Scotland's Premiership Player of the Year, the SFWA Player of the Year and SPFA Player of the Year and Celtic Player of the Year in 2010, making a sweep of all individual award in Scotland. He did it as a fullback. 
-- Jocelyn Angloma played for Guadeloupe in the 2007 Gold Cup becuase Guadeloupe is not a FIFA member.  He made my all-time team for Caribbean nations for a special exceptional case. But I decided to select CONCACAF players eligible for full international only for this blog team.  So I did not consider him.
-- Cuban-born Chus Alonso played for Spain.  He never played for Cuba, which made him ineligible. 
-- Gilberto Yearwood was Honduras' greatest player.
-- Claudio Reyna made the Team of the Tournament at the 2002 World Cup Finals.  Along with Landon Donovan, he is probably the greatest American player in the modern era.  Clint Dempsey (USA) is underrated.  
-- El Salvador had a horrible World Cup Finals in 1982, but Jorge “El Mágico” González  had a wonderful club career in Spain after the World Cup.  Many people said that he could become the best player in his generation, but his transfer to a bigger club failed to materialize.  He never got the exposure outside La Liga.
-- I took Alejandro Morera Soto (Costa Rica) over compatriot Paulo Wanchope.  Basically, I feel that the team needs an older player to balance out.
-- Dwight Yorke (T&T) was a key player as Manchester United won their triple crown in 1999.
-- Julio Dely Valdes has a twin brother Jorge Dely Valdés and an older brother Armando Dely Valdés.  
-- Hugo Sanchez won 5 straight Pichichi title in Spain.  No explanation is needed for him.
-- John Barnes, Owen Hargreaves and John van 't Schip probably made this team if they played for a CONCACAFA national team.
