The World Cup of Darts had it's latest installment this past weekend in Frankfurt with Michael van Gerwen and Raymond van Barneveld claiming the title for the Netherlands once again. They defeated Scotland's pairing of Peter Wright and Gary Anderson in order to do so.
After the event, the PDC have collated the top five moments from this years' tournament in what was a thrilling edition of the World Cup of Darts.
Number five came right at the start of the tournament with Spain on the brink against Russia. The Russian pairing of Boris Koltsov and Aleksandr Oreshkin, experienced hands in this format were sat on a finish to win only for Toni Alcinas to smash in a 136 checkout to send the Spanish team through.

Similarly for number four, Northern Ireland took out a clutch finish in the first round knowing anything less could see them dumped out. Gurney was on 101 and converted to bring together a brilliant comeback from 4-2 down against the Polish duo of Krzysztof Ratajski and Tytus Kanik.

Number three saw instead of a clutch finish from the other team, a team holding on in the form of Belgium who were one of the shining lights in the tournament. Dimitri van den Bergh and Kim Huybrechts saw the Republic of Ireland pairing of William O'Connor and Steve Lennon miss 170 before finishing the job off.

Number two saw a sublime leg of darts between Martin Schindler and Michael van Gerwen. Schindler and Hopp had the Dutch duo standing in front of them potentially claiming the title. Despite Schindler hitting a 110 average, this still wasn't enough to slay the World Number One and this leg of darts proved how good both players are.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
