Aiming to reclaim the crown they won in 2020 which kick started Jonny Clayton's meteoric rise up to the darting elite, they sent out a statement in seeing off Gabriel Clemens and Martin Schindler.
Price started proceedings off in a potentially tough task facing Martin Schindler but 'The Iceman' smashed through 'The Wall' with the second highest singles average in World Cup of Darts history.
He produced a 117.88 mark with a 4-0 win as Schindler was simply helpless to the remarkable display from Price who hit a 170 checkout as well as a 120 checkout and completely flawless on his doubles at 4/4.
The onus was now on Clayton to deliver against Gabriel Clemens and he did so sealing a 4-2 win and preventing Germany one final crack at a pairs decider as home hopes are now dented.
They will now play the Netherlands this evening in a mouth watering clash between two of the best teams so far this tournament.
