The second half of the first round of the World Cup of Darts from the Eissporthalle in Frankfurt is headlined by what remains the biggest shock in the tournament's history.
In the first ever running of the event back in 2010, the little known Spanish pairing of Antonio Alcinas and Carlos Rodriguez stunned England's multiple major winners Phil Taylor and James Wade in a last leg decider and eventually made it all the way to the semi-finals where they lost 4-0 to the Dutch pairing of Raymond van Barneveld and Co Stompe.
Nowadays, England is more accurately described as Stoke with Adrian Lewis taking Med Man's place and Carlos Rodriguez has dropped off the darting planet to be replaced by Tennereefy (copyright Eric Bristow) star of Cristo Reyes. With both Philth and Snackpot in woeful form recently, the Fat Man averaging less than 80 in Dubai last week against Dave Chisnall, could the memories of Rainton Meadows Arena inspire another Spanish success?
Elsewhere in the evening, monster chin Daryl Gurney and muscleman Gerwyn Price debut for Northern Ireland and Wales against Japan and Finland respectively, while "Austrians" Mensur Suljovic and Rowby-John Rodriguez face Italy, who will be represented on the European Tour for the first time after Daniele Petri qualified for next month's European Darts Open.
In the unseeded matchups, Greece debut in the competition with dancing Sergio Aguero wannabe John Michael against John Part's Canada, last year's epic battle between Ireland and Hong Kong is repeated, featuring the glasses of Royden Lam and conspiracy nut Scott Mackenzie, dancing Devon Petersen's South Africa face Singapore who have Paul "REMEMBER HIM HE HIT A 9 DARTER GO ON YOU REMEMBER DON'T YOU?!" Lim somehow still in their top two, and China play the Czech Republic in, if yesterday's Thailand-Hungary match is to be repeated, a complete mess of a fixture.
Coverage starts from 7:00pm UK time on Sky Sports 1.

Oh boy oh boy, this should be fun. Who we got this time?
>Czech Republic v China
Czechs take it in a dreadful match. This is basically just a coin flip.
>Greece v Canada
Canada should be able to take this on Fat Man Part's baseline competency alone, but he could royally fuck this up. The Whitlock Choke being denied yesterday could bode badly for other potential choke artists.
>Republic of Ireland v Hong Kong
For no particular reason, I'm going with Hong Kong on this one.
>South Africa v Singapore
South Africa should have this one. Petersen alone should be able to carry this one over the finish line.
>Northern Ireland (4) v Japan
Picking Japan in an upset. I'm just not feeling good about Dolan at all, and if Dolan fails, then Norn Iron goes to shit.
>Wales (5) v Finland
Wales should win this handily. Doubles are weird, but these two should be solid enough to gloss over any wacky problems.
>England (1) v Spain
TAYLORWINSLOL. I'm not getting my hopes up at all for this shit.
>Austria (8) v Italy
Going with Austria on this one. Similarly to the Wales match, Mensur and Rowby-John should be able to see the unseeded team off with relative ease.
Looks like a fun night to me.

Remember that time Brendan Dolan got a nine-darter from a double start?
>>68074040
Never heard about that m8
>>68074040
and then james wade and robert thornton did
and it was both in the same match
and dolan was mad as fuck watching on
>>68074040
Thanks to the constant reminders everytime he's on: Yes.
Remember when dolan got a 180 with his tongue hanging out followed by a casual stroll up to the board with a circular hand gesture?

>>68074527
You can, but your stomach gets sour as fuck. At least for me it'd be hard to get drunk from that stuff, because all that acid would fuck me up along with the alcohol. But it's possible. You can order Süßgespritzter (with lemonade) or Panzer (yes, it's really called "tank", with Cola), but some Ebbelwoi pubs will think that you are a cretin.
>>68074534
No prob, m8. I enjoy that at least for one time I can contribute some knowledge to a /180/ thread.
HEY
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUUUU
>>68074527
>>68074627
Fucking hell, I had to google Ebbelwoi. Your language is so weird to me.
>>68074675
It's weird to everyone outside of Hessen, don't worry.
>this quarter of the draw
Wales/Finland/Canada v NI/ROI
Jesus Christ. Philth and Fatpot will have a field day with this if they don't lose before the semis.
>>68074675
Dialects are hell. I know Hessisch, Fränkisch, and a special kind of Fränkisch that gets spoken around the Maindreieck, and they're all fucking nuts in their own way. God knows how I'd deal with Hamburgerisch, Berlinerisch or Sächsisch.
>>68074728
Sounds like we're close. Northern border of Franken? Southern border of Hessen here, just north of Spessart.

Not quite, more center. About 140 clicks to Frankfurt. Just about enough to make going to the event plausible, but just far enough to make it more complicated than something you can just do on a whim.

ROID BOY is currently at 121st in the OoM alongside such household names as Lakeside jobber Remco van Eijden and everyone's favourite nonce Dennis Smith.
James Hubbard isn't even on the main Order of Merit. He's only won £50 this year on the Challenge Tour and is at joint 142nd.

[taylor montages intensify]
>>68075055
I apologize for my countrymen. I have no idea why Germany loves Taylor so much. Maybe it's because they got to see him beat up the Dutch guy for so long.
>>68075066
>Hubbard
How the mighty have fallen. I thought Monk had potential, guess roiding is his thing.
>>68075087
Maybe it's the only darts song they know, and since they probably won't sing Kolo/Yaya in Germany, they're otherwise sticking to Eintracht (the local football team) chants.
>>68075091
>I thought Monk had potential, guess roiding is his thing.
You would think that given his dad was a fairly successful player.
Then again, Colin Monk was only any good in the BDO so maybe Arron should go there instead.
Come on spain
The state of those Taylor mongs. Hope Barney can somehow hang on to MVG's coat tails and smash them in the final.
>>68075148
McDine and Monk dominating the BDO for years and years would be better than the shite they put out there now.
>>68075170
>tfw English and rooting for Spain
Wish we had more likeable representatives than these two cunts. I'd take Chizzy and Wade all day.
>>68075225
Have to wonder why more of the eternal floor jobbers haven't followed McWoman's lead and switched.
The likes of Mark Hylton and Terry Temple could actually do good in a shit organisation.
>>68075225
Wolfie is the true england captain
>>68075225
Is Lewis so bad? I know he's been arrogant in his younger years, but now, I actually like him.
>>68075256
Fuck, I forgot it's actually more expensive to do the BDO given you're going all over Europe.
>Romania Open
>Danish Open
>Torremolinos Open

Philth in fine mood tonight it seems.
>>68075265
Amen brother. Him and Scotty Dog would bring it home. /bdoinvasion/ for life.
>>68075256
Nigel Heydon and Prakash Jiwa fighting it out for a major tournament would get me interested in the BDO again, not going to lie.
>>68075298
Lewis has adopted the same mentality as Anderson. If it isn't the Worlds, he cannot be fucked. We saw that in the PL playoffs: put up no resistance to MVG whatsoever.
It's fucking pathetic for someone with that much potential.
>>68075298
Lewis is shit by association, given that he's basically Taylor Jr.
Quite like alcinas and reyes. Give them your power /180/
