vs Whitlock and Heta... both can be quite hit-or-miss though. Have to wonder about Whitlock's confidence levels after the Grand Prix exit.

Phillipines now have withdrawn

Kingp35 · 19-10-2020 3:20pm

I expect more will follow.

You've called him and others much worse than that. You're nothing but a hypocrite.

No-one has any problems with posting news, it's adding personal opinions into the text that's putting people off.

wrt MvG, I think he's definitely missed his mark with those comments. International travel with the state of the world right now is still a risky thing, and it's not like darts players are always in their own bubble like what F1 is doing.

Justin Credible Darts · 23-10-2020 1:22pm

sorry but when you are in the public eye and do things like trying to sleep with slappers when your wife is pregnant you are going to get called out.

But like so many on here, they dont care , its all about the poster than the post.

The Singapore team just announced they won't be going as they will not be left back in to Singapore after it regardless if they quarantined or had tests done.

They've been replaced by a Portugal team. Jose De Sousa and someone else.

US2 · 02-11-2020 2:21pm

Cristo Reyes also pulled out for Spain too.

Jose De Sousa and Jose Marques.
Jesus Noguera will replace Toni Alcinas.

Justin Credible Darts · 02-11-2020 4:47pm

I just hope Belgium and australia dont reach the final.

dont want huybrechts or whitlock stinking up the grand slam

Kingp35 · 02-11-2020 5:24pm

One of the Chinese players has been replaced too.

The tournament will now be played behind closed doors as regulations in Austria have changed.

US2 · 03-11-2020 1:22pm

Wales are 2nd favorites for this priced at 11/4. Really tempting. Price and Clayton are playing really well the last month.

Top half of that draw looks so much more open. England, Belgium, Northern Ireland, Austria. If De Sousa brings his current form maybe Portugal could have a decent tournament. I like the 9/1 on Belgium myself.

Bottom half has Wales, Netherlands, Scotland, Germany, Ireland, Australia, South Africa. Tougher route to the final.

Wales as favorites now at 3-1 and rightfully so....how they were second favorites is a weird one.

The form of price and clayton is vastly superior to that of Cross and smith,

I would be surprised if england got anywhere near the final, even in this joke of a comp

Where are you seeing them at 3/1 favs? Still 11/4 second favorite behind Netherlands 9/4 on paddy power

Justin Credible Darts · 03-11-2020 7:18pm

3s for wales and 4s for holland are great prices.

how they have england second favorite is beyond me.

US2 · 05-11-2020 7:53pm

China now withdrawn as well. Replaced by Latvia

US2 · 06-11-2020 1:26pm

I hate the fist bump after every throw!!

Scoundrel · 06-11-2020 2:28pm

Portugal looked good there I thought Gibralter were unlucky.

US2 · 06-11-2020 2:53pm

I knew Gurney and Dolan are out of form but Jesus that was bad.

Absolute rubbish Gurney is playing like a pub player atm.

Belgium were put to the pin of their collars there nearly another upset.

US2 · 06-11-2020 3:48pm

The younger fella of the USA team is decent.

Comfortably beaten by Canada

Dillonb3 · 06-11-2020 8:44pm

Australia's 180s making the difference here. Heta is scoring well and Withlock with the finishing

All over some effort

Unfortunately the Aussies for the crucial break at 3-2 up

A lot of these countries have one decent thrower and one pub level player. Watching Heta walk over this Polish lad makes it hard to take this seriously

Edit: third leg Heta 120 average, Kciuk 50 average
