Dueling vuvuzelas, a leftover from the noisy World Cup in South Africa in 2010, provided the soundtrack during a World Cup watch party on Wednesday, July 1, at the Dayton Beer Company.
The horns have a unique sound, one that’s never going to fit in an orchestra but fits right in at soccer matches. In this case, they made hundreds of U.S. fans who gathered to watch the United States play Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 feel like they were a part of something memorable — even though the game was played thousands of miles away in California.
I was one of those fans. I know from experience that the World Cup is best experienced in a large group. Michael Muncy, the founder and president of the Dayton chapter of the American Outlaws, the U.S. men’s national team’s fan club, agrees with that viewpoint.
