2019 PDC World Cup of Darts

[BlueSpark]

The Netherlands are just weak with Wattimena in their team. Cant see them reaching the finals

We need a player with more big stage experience. RVB or Harms would suit.

What a moby

If you could select a partner for MVG who would you pick. PDC or BDO.

I couldn’t give two shiny shits Robson
I have no interest in the World Cup.

I'd go for de Zwaan at the moment but I think Watty will do ok.

I would go for RVB. A proven stage player.

I have zero interest in this too, just reading thread to see comments whilst fam watch crappy BGT. Worse PDC event, needs to be a 5 man team played over a week with group stages or similar to make it interesting.

I take it the pay in comp has gone for a burton?
PHIL!!

[trotter01]

I don't mind this event at all.. One of the more interesting events on the calendar for me.. The Worlds , the Matchplay, UK Open and this are the best 4 for me..

[BVDRassel]

PDC Worlds and Lakeside are obviously the big 2. World Cup is still young. It will grow.

[ChrisW]

Can't argue with that. It can only get better.

MICHAEL SMITH will fulfil a childhood ambition when he makes his England debut at the BetVictor World Cup of Darts.

Smith's run to the final of the 2018/19 World Championship helped him move ahead of James Wade and Dave Chisnall into sixth on the PDC Order of Merit to secure his place in the England line-up.

The 2018 Premier League runner-up will team up with former World Champion Rob Cross for the first time on Friday as they take on the Philippines, and Smith can't wait to pull on his England shirt.

"I can't wait to represent my country, it will be one of the proudest moments of my career," said Smith.

"Even if I were to fall down the rankings in later years and this turns out to be the only chance I get to play for England, I will always look back on it with pride.

"Everyone wants to represent their country in any sport, and last year I was doing everything I could to get into the team, it was one of my biggest aims.

"I've always played pairs matches in local competition and over the last couple of weeks I've been playing lots of pairs matches to get myself used to playing that format again.

"I think we've got a good chance of doing well, Rob had a great Premier League season, while I didn't play badly but my doubles let me down.

"My scoring was there but I needed about 12 darts at double to win a leg, which wasn't an accurate representation of how good I actually am on doubles and now I need to prove that."

The BetVictor World Cup of Darts will be held from June 6-9 at the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany.

Broadcast live on Sky Sports, the tournament will see 32 countries represented by two players each in the unique event which features both doubles and singles matches.

It kind of goes to prove that in these countries there are no real challengers to these players.

That the PDC will look at. There are more players around than will be considered for this two-man jolly. Well, except Gibraltar All it proves is how far the PDC still has to go in certain areas of the world. In some places, if you've got a tour card, you're in, regardless of your form. There are still countries left to conquer, and will be for a long time yet.

I see MVG was calling for a change of format to more pairs games. I’ve got to agree, for me it’s got to be 100% pairs matches, that’s the USP of the tournament.

The BDO love pairs, wonder why they don’t try a few major pairs competitions. Even allocate points to the existing pairs tournaments.

[ChrisW]

Starting to look forward more an more to this tournament each year. It is still a breath of fresh air to the usual single knockouts we see all year round.
