This fan paid $650 for a ticket. Here’s what he saw<\/a><\/p>\nDavis noted that he has heard from people all around the world \u2013 from Romania to Nepal to South Africa \u2013 who have heard his voice commentating matches.<\/p>\n
Walker and Davis called the Houston matches from right on the halfway line in a dedicated media section, surrounded by other broadcasting teams from around the world.<\/p>\n
He liked getting to the matches early in Houston watching everything happen as the day progressed at Reliant Stadium. Looking around the stadium would also remind him of previous matches at the stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember games I called there up real, real high, up in the stratosphere,\u201d Davis said. \u201cI mean, I drive around town, I remember things about soccer in certain places.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis said it\u2019s been incredible to watch soccer grow in the city and reach a point where it can host World Cup matches. He\u2019s all been thinking a lot about the people who helped Houston reach this point.<\/p>\n
Some of them are no longer around. Many of them still are, and Davis is hopeful that the authentic soccer fans have been able to make memorable moments of their own out of the tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope they’re enjoying this in every single way possible that they can because they’re the builders of the game,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n
Houston\u2019s seven World Cup matches have been played, but Davis has one more match to call.<\/p>\n

Even though the match won\u2019t be at Reliant Stadium, Davis will be representing Houston with every word he utters. He always does, and he has done so for so many years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like to represent everything Houston, and that includes the soccer community,\u201d Davis said. \u201cDoing these games comes with a responsibility. Whether it was my 20 years with the Dynamo, my 30 years with MLS, World Cup, doing a college game at the University of Texas or Texas A&M \u2014 doesn’t matter \u2014 you have a responsibility there to the players, the coaches, the listeners, the viewers. And that’s never, ever left.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Broadcaster Glenn Davis broadcasts during a World Cup round of 16 soccer match in Houston, Saturday, July 4,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":918909,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5130],"tags":[4345,358,353012,3187],"class_list":["post-918908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-texas","tag-tsn-dynamo","tag-tx"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116879556305755259","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=918908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/918909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=918908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=918908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=918908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
