The World Cup of Darts holds the last 16 today with a change in format from the previous two days. The format is now altered to first to two wins, with a pair of best-of-seven leg singles matches, and a best-of-seven leg doubles decider if required.
With no surprises for the seeded nations in Round 1, it's the four lesser seeds who play in the afternoon. The Huybrechts brothers of Belgium, the best performing winners from day 1, take on Hungary; this should be an easy victory for Waffleboy and his wife's dad. An historic encounter follows with the first ever meeting of both Irelands: the Republic only just edged past Hong Kong yesterday while Norn Iron had a much easier ride against Japan. Rumours that the IRA will be in attendance are unfounded. Two former BDO champions clash in the third game of the day with Mark Webster's Wales up against John Part's Canada, who recorded their first World Cup win since 2013 with victory over Greece. Gerwyn Price produced a great performance on debut and if he repeats that, it should see the number 5 seeds through. "Austria" close the afternoon against the dangerous Singapore, who will undoubtedly have yet another reference to Paul Lim's 9 darter.
The evening session sees Scotland, who were scared by New Zealand and the amazing performance of debutant Cody Harris, face "Norway", who had Dutch-born Cor Dekker also producing some good darts on debut. A more resilient Australia pairing than in previous years (I wonder why...) take on Denmark; even with Simon Whitlock's choking tendencies, they should see off the Danes. Team England (read: Stoke) then play China in a match filled with casual racism, sloppy darts from everyone involved and an inevitable ENGERLUND win. The Netherlands close out the day's action against the Philippines, and with no Alkesandr Oreshkin to slow everything down, it should be a fairly simple victory for the Oranje.

>Rod bullshitting about Huybrechts in the PL
Kimbo is playing no better or no worse now than he was when he got picked in the PL. He's permanently going to be between 11 and 20 in the world rankings. He got picked in the PL because a) he nine-darted MVG and b) the PDC thought his arm-waving would make him a decent heel.
>>68095621
>Kimbo is playing no better or no worse now than he was when he got picked in the PL.
His form collapsed big time over the back of last year though.

It's sponsored and organized by the DSAB, but at our level (C class), it's mostly just an excuse for people to get drunk and chuck arrers. Legs are pretty much decided by "who lucks into a triple first".

Isn't Gurney like the only lower-seeded player that plays first? Seems like they're seeing the way things are going for le double out double in nine darter man.
>>68096487
I'm OK with this.
>>68096572
I think they see that Gurney still might have potential, while averaging 90 to 100-man will average 90 to 100 until some day he won't average 90 to 100 any longer.

No dubs, no win. Maybe the most basic of darts lores. Also, when playing yourself, few things are more annoying than having a great scoring leg, and then fucking it up on the doubles, while seeing your once-proud average being reduced to a steaming pile of failure one dart at a time.

>>68098277
Commo said that when Rowby first started out he'd gesture to the crowd when he'd hit a 140, which led to Rabbie getting pissed off in one match and Mrs Rabbie spending a night in a ward.
![Harith-LIM03[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/mCVBq4U.jpg "Harith-LIM03[1].jpg")
Amazes me how Harith Lim has never qualified for any other PDC major.
He's much more than capable of competing in steel tip events.
>>68098341
He's been in the World Cup a few times now. Plays soft tip over in the Far East.
>>68098344
Classic Wee Rabbie.
You're no Mensur, Rowby.
The mensur curse even on his teammates.
Austria might actually pull this off against England.
Good show to Austria.
Here's hoping Straya manages to keep the "not entirely terrible" form from yesterday and Anderson proves a better partner than Nicho (he'd have to be trying to be that shit, though).
Scotland, England and the Netherlands all winning seems pretty preordained, but Australia has that inherent choking potential that makes my life hell.
Hm, maybe the place I'll be playing darts tonight has a TV showing Sport1. Then I can watch Straya choke the game away while I choke my own game away. That'll be fun.
And we end an afternoon session that contained a single shock.
John Part rolled back the years to produce darts of a three time world champion. After Darth Maple defeated a hopeless Mark Webster in the first singles, Gerwyn Price blitzed Ken MacNeil 4-0 to take the tie into a doubles decider. Unfortunately for Cymru, the experience of the big man proved clinical as a stunning 161 out when the Welsh were waiting on 70 to tie the match at 2-2. A further clutch 76 from him won the fixture for Canada and eliminated the first seed from this year's competition. While the muscleman impressed, Webby looks to have lost all the form he built up at the end of last year, which is a real letdown for such a likeable guy. His wobbling throw still shows he hasn't lost the dartitis that led his career to fall down like it has done.
In the other games this afternoon, the Huybrechts dispatched Hungary with ease, the entirety of Ireland bar Daryl Gurney struggled to even play darts, with the Northern half of the island advancing to the quarterfinals at the expense of the southern part, while Suljovic and Rodriguez got through easily despite some good finishing from Paul and Harith Lim.
See you in 2 and a half hours.
Your one hour reminder.
>>68098634
>Scotland, England and the Netherlands all winning seems pretty preordained, but Australia has that inherent choking potential that makes my life hell.
Pretty much this, I fear most matches will be boring. The good news: All matches tomorrow won't!

>>68103216
Yes, in cycling it's the same. I mean it's ok to support your local hero, but hating on the other guys, sometimes just because of football rivalries, is kinda silly. I started to feel like this 15 years or so ago, when ski jumping was a big fad in Germany due to Martin Schmitt and Sven Hannawald, including massive media presence. Their big rival was Adam Malysz from Poland, and especially Hannawald was a total jerk, always massively overcelebrating, while Malysz was the coziest guy you can imagine.
Shitlock is of course helped if any problems occur by his partner not having the mental state of a wet teabag this year.
>>68103368
