ππ₯π’π¦π¦ ππ‘π§π’ π§ππ π¦ππ π-πππ‘πππ¦! Rob Cross moves into the Semi-Finals of the 2021 Cazoo European Championship, beating Jose De Sousa 10-5. A very solid run so far from the 2019 Champion!
Rob Cross is the latest player through to the semi-finals at the 2021 European Championship after seeing off Jose de Sousa in a 10-5 win.
Cross, the 2019 champion is now one win away from preserving his spot in the Last 16 of the PDC Order of Merit after the potential for him to slip towards the top 30 due to defending winnings from two years ago.
But he has stuck to the task at hand all weekend and saw off the Portuguese ace who was under par at times during the contest.
It was a lead throughout for Cross who took a 3-1 lead in the form of a break of throw with a 60 checkout to cement his early dominance. De Sousa continued to squander opportunities with two for the leg and Cross took out 68 to hold and go 5-2 up.
De Sousa stayed within touching distance at 6-4 at the break but again Cross took away any opportunities for a fightback with a 104 checkout almost the nail in the coffin at 8-4 up.
This was confounded nearly by De Sousa busting 121 on treble 20 only to go and take it out on the next visit but Cross claimed it from there to book his semi-final spot in Salzburg.

- 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 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
