On July 21, the Bluffton Soccer Club hosted an outdoor watch party for the first game of the U.S. women’s national soccer team in the 2023 World Cup tournament. A large screen television was set up on the Steinmetz soccer field where young children, teens and adults watched from the bleachers, in lawn chairs and on blankets. The sun set shortly after the game started, bringing the screen into sharp focus and vivid color. A crescent moon glowed overhead. The defending U.S. champions were heavy favorites against Vietnam, a team playing in the world cup for the first time–and the U.S. team won 3-0.

The Bluffton Icon has an Independence Day holiday publishing break on July 3-4, 2023.
