THE CHAMPS ARE OUT! ❌ England's Michael Smith and James Wade complete our semi-final lineup, dumping out defending champions Scotland! The top seeds only drop one leg on their way to defeating John Henderson and Peter Wright!
Top seeds England end Scotland's World Cup of Darts title defence with dominant display

The semi-final line-up is confirmed at the World Cup of Darts with England set to face Australia this evening and Wales facing The Netherlands.
This after the duo of Michael Smith and James Wade who had question marks as top seeds after limping over the line against Latvia yesterday eased past defending champions, Scotland 2-0.
They only dropped one leg en route to seeing off the duo of John Henderson and Peter Wright who will not recapture the magic from 12 months ago and it could finally be England's time to shine once more with the new look duo.
Smith led from the front as captain in his opener seeing off John Henderson without dropping a leg to get the first point on the board.
In doing so, he produced three 180's and 44.4% on the doubles despite an average of just 91 but it was ten points clear of 'The Highlander'.
Pressure was on Wright to force a pairs decider but after saying he'd put it right after losing to Madars Razma yesterday, James Wade did.
Despite only an average of 80, he pounced on a poor showing on the doubles from the World Number One who hit just 1/12 en route to defeat with Wade as usual taking his chances with 4/10 as he sealed the second point in a 4-1 win.

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
