Well, other than that Commonwealth is part of the world cup bid while McMahon is not.
Also Soccer Canada has a long history of using Commonwealth, especially back when it had grass. It has been host to men's, women's and youth games for the various national teams for decades, including the Womens world cup in 2015, the U20 world cup in 2007, and the sold out friendly against soon to be world champion Brazil in 1994 (which we drew 1-1 if any of the new fans weren't aware!)
I am so stoked to see how much buzz this team has right now. I've never seen so many posters in this thread. Even my mom, who is not a big sports fan, texted me today to ask if I knew about the game!
