I travelled to Portland a few years ago to watch Norwich play the Timbers. That was a fun experience. I like the idea of a European club doing a preseason tour in North America, and it seems that Cardiff is already playing New Mexico and San Antonio of the USL. Wouldn't it just be better for everyone to have them play FC Edmonton instead of some random, match fixing La Liga side?
And soccer in Commonwealth? Oh dear. Unless there are 40,000+, and there won't be.

I'd be impressed if they drew 4,000...
I agree with you though, if they are good with playing USL teams, I can't imagine the gap between CanPL and USL is very large, in fact, its probably negligible.
I think I am doubly disappointed since I figured if FC Edmonton could rope a friendly against a (former) EPL team, then maybe Cavalry could get a smaller EPL, La Liga, Serie A or Bundesliga team to come too.
