Netherlands after reaching World Cup of Darts Quarter-Finals: "Of course we are favorites, but we don't underestimate any opponent"

The Netherlands qualified very convincingly for the quarterfinals at the World Cup of Darts. Dirk van Duijvenbode and Danny Noppert defeated Ireland 2-0.

"We both started a bit unsure, but then we were completely unleashed," Van Duijvenbode opens to TOTO Dart Kings. "Because Danny won his match I was under less pressure. Moreover, I had always won the previous matches against Steve Lennon, so I was confident. Especially with our scoring ability, they couldn't keep up with us."

No underestimation

Noppert, who won 4-1 against William O'Connor, was also obviously satisfied. "It took a while before I got into the match properly, but afterwards I threw a number of 180's and I got a head of steam. If Dirk and I keep playing like that we'll be hard to beat. Of course we are favorites against Northern Ireland in the quarterfinals, but we don't underestimate any opponent."
