It all comes down to this as the World Cup of Darts concludes in Frankfurt beginning in just over an hours' time with four countries left in the reckoning for the title.
Only one of them is not a previous winner with Simon Whitlock harboring memories of their best chance back in 2012 and it is England who inflicted that sudden death drama that await Australia in the second semi-final.
Albeit with a new England side aiming to seal the title for the first time since Phil Taylor was involved back in 2016 but it is one that includes two of the most in-form players in the world right now in Michael Smith and James Wade and after breezing past Scotland earlier, the belief will be there.
The same can be said though for Whitlock and Heta who averaged 110 in their pairs decider earlier showing they have the prowess if needed if it goes to the pairs.
While in the opening semi-final are the two countries that have impressed the most in 2020 champions, Wales with Gerwyn Price averaging the second highest of all time in the singles earlier with a 117 average en route to defeating Germany.
For the Netherlands on the other hand, they have been solid and superbly cohesive as a unit with Danny Noppert and Dirk van Duijvenbode filling the Michael van Gerwen void without the pressure of the Green Machine being involved.
They will aim to become the first team from the Netherlands not featuring MVG to win it and seal a feat that the country has not been able to do since Raymond van Barneveld left the team.
