Go Cubs!
After a week away following the conclusion of the Premier League, the PDC circus moves onto Germany for the only doubles tournament on the calendar with the World Cup of Darts. The format has slightly changed from previous years with there only being eight seeds now instead of sixteen.
England (read: Stoke's Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis) retained their title last year with a fairly simple win over Scotland. The Scottish twosome that time - Gary Anderson and Peter Wright - has been split, with PL failure Robert Thornton replacing Clownman for "personal reasons". It is far more likely, however, that Wright has had to withdraw following the comments his hambeast wife made to both Snackpot and Gando following their 7-2 match in the last week of the PL. The Twitter rage from Coco the Cow over the supposedly "fixed match" - which was in no way helped by her husband's inability to beat Raymond van Barneveld and throw his playoff chances down the toilet, oh no - has cost Panto Pete when he has strongly improved recently, and was even tolerable in Dubai last week!
Nevertheless, the number two seeds still have a job to do, with them facing New Zealand in the opening round. With Taylor tormentor Rob Szabo failing to qualify this year, debutant Cody Harris is the Kiwi who teams up with MVG mauler Warren Parry to face the World and World GP champions. Let's hope there's no terrible haka from them this year.
Speaking of Michael van Gerwen, his inability to play with new Dutch number two Jelle Klaasen owing to an incident related to sending dick pics to retarded girls has resulted in Barney retaining his pairing from last year. despite his With professional Jack Osbourne impersonator Boris Koltsov and batshit insane Aleksandr Oreshkin representing Russia, this could be a tricky task for the third seeds if they're not up to scratch.
All first round matches are pairs with the best of 9 legs (first to 5) going through.

Giants have never faced Aaron Blair (new guy; debuted against NYM this year).

The plausible reports ive heard:
Simeone - Atletico Madrid
Emery - Seville
Koeman - Southampton
Pellegrini - Man City (unattached at the end of the month)
David Moyes - Red haired devil
Reports say Koeman's agent is meeting with everton today to sign a deal. double his southampton wages...
Yeah, Simeone's gonna swap Atletico for Everton.
Scouse gobshite.

>Queensland wins game 1 6-4

>Laurie Daley seething at last nights referees
It's reassuring that some things never change - NSW always blaming their losses has been going on for time immemorial
Further, they have even less right to complain this time out:
only 8 total penalties, 4 a-piece (averaged 14 penalites per game last year)
Maloney forward pass to Cordner for try not called
Reynolds raking the ball not called
Morris no-try clearly not grounded
Gallen penalty was a bit much but that was one instance and stuff like that happens in every match
>>68035608
There were bad calls both ways, like that “high” tackle on Scott, the penalty goal that happen for tackling above the foot (seriously what the fuck was that?) and that Gagai knock on that got reversed
http://www.businessinsider.com/espn-bleeding-subscribers-2016-5
>The number of homes with ESPN has dropped below 90 million for the first time in a decade as the Worldwide Leader in Sports continues to bleed subscribers at an alarming rate.
>ESPN has lost over 1.5 million subscribers since February alone. If that pace continues — and data from the last three years suggests it will — the number of homes with ESPN will likely fall to at least 87-88 million by the end of the year. That would mark a 12-13% drop in just the last five years, since the network peaked with 100.1 million subscribers in 2011.
How do you feel about the imminent death of ESPN?
I'll miss around the horn and PTI, everything else can get fucked though.
>>68031472
FS1 is hardly a competitor so a drop in subscribers won't kill ESPN. Likely, they will just cut out what is left that is good and keep the cancer like first take that gets the unemployed audience
>>68031472
they deserve it for not embracing soccer.

I'm surprised Durant, Kohli and James are there. This list would be even worse with any baseball player.
