The schedule has been released for the World Cup of Darts in a few weeks coming from Frankfurt. This includes Netherlands the champions facing off against Gibraltar and Scotland, the top seeds facing USA.
The first night will see the Scottish duo, Peter Wright and Gary Anderson face off against the American duo of Larry Butler, the former World Matchplay champion and Darin Young joining him once again.
Italy vs Canada will face off in the opening clash of the World Cup with Dawson Murschell replacing John Norman Jr in partnering John Part, the multiple time world champion.
Like alluded to Netherlands will also be involved and will face Gibraltar with Michael van Gerwen and Dyson Parody locking horns again after their classic battle at Dyson's home tournament a few years back.
Dave Chisnall will partner debutant Rob Cross and they will face the Czech Republic hoping to add to the four titles they have previously claimed. Host nation Germany with new PDC ranking winner, Max Hopp and the brilliant prospect Martin Schindler will face Sweden in one of the ties of the round.
Other brilliant ties coming up include Republic of Ireland vs Belgium with Dimitri van den Bergh partnering Kim Huybrechts for the first time in what could be a dangerous duo. But the same can be said for Steve Lennon and William O'Connor.
Also Daryl Gurney and Brendan Dolan facing Krzysztof Ratajski and Tytus Kanik as well as Cody Harris & Warren Parry vs Paul and Harith Lim will be some of the potential ties of the round.

- 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
