The ranking, released on 1 July, includes matches up through 25 June, so it does not include Canada&rsquo;s 3:0 defeat over Guatemala in Oxnard, CA on 30 June. That result, as well as Canada&rsquo;s results at the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup, will be included in the next ranking on 5 August 2009.<br>\u200b<br>\u200b<br>\u200b<br>\u200bCanada lost 70 points in the ranking, in particular due to the devaluation of last year&rsquo;s two wins in FIFA World Cup\u0099 Qualifiers against St. Vincent &amp; the Grenadines.

USA not only remains the top-ranked CONCACAF country, but it also now the 12th-ranked country in the world. Mexico, meanwhile, has slipped to third in the confederation behind Costa Rica.<br>\u200b<br>\u200b<br>\u200b<br>\u200bAt the top of the world ranking, Brazil has moved into first place after winning the FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009.
