Max Hopp and Martin Schindler continued their World Cup brilliance last night by once again cementing their place in the Quarter-Finals.
They will face Netherlands’ pairing of Michael van Gerwen and Raymond van Barneveld today and despite that Hopp has said it would be a dream to win the title & its what they want to do. “The crowd supported us all the way through and we are absolutely delighted to get the win,” said Hopp. “It was a relief to survive the match darts against Brendan but once we got through to the doubles I told Martin we beat them last year so we can do it again. “I was very glad to take out the 100 to get us through to the quarter-finals and now we will rest up for tomorrow and go again. “It would be a dream come true to lift the World Cup trophy in front of our home crowd and that is what we will try to do.” For more information on the World Cup of Darts click .

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
