Would I drop $250 (plus, plus, plus) to see this game? Not likely.

I think you're looking at that wrong. As a Canadian, you don't pay to see the stars of Guadeloupe, you pay to see the stars of Canada, such as Davies (Bayern Munich) and David (Lille).
Half the reason that the CMNT had such good turnout on the WC run was because they had marketable stars playing at the most elite level, and the results were showing on the field.
