The new Netherlands duo of Michael van Gerwen alongside debutant Danny Noppert wasted little time in seeing off Brazil in a 5-1 win to begin their World Cup of Darts campaign.
They will now have Spain next up and Mighty Mike was pleased with what he saw from Noppert on debut.
"It went fine. Danny is a fantastic player and certainly did well. However, he can do even better than what he showed today, but I am confident that he will prove it for the rest of the tournament. Wales and England are of course the top favourites, but we just assume our own strength ", said the number one in the world at RTL 7.
"It took some getting used to for me of course, but I am satisfied that it went well", debutant Noppert said. "I've had an excellent preparation for this tournament and that feels good. This performance gives me confidence for the rest of the tournament."

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - 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
