Van Gerwen was atrocious then but Lewis really is a repulsive toad.

Lewis will regret every ill advised early celebration he made in that match, when MVG destroys him every time he plays him from now on. Stupid oaf.

What's wrong with Lewis? He was like his old self when he was a dick.

He looks like he is smashed out of his head to be fair.

This tournament seems to bring out the worst in Lewis

Chances of an interview with the Dutch pair - somewhere on the low side of remote.

Has anyone here got any ideas on how to make the World Cup of Darts more competitive

How about having three on each team, with all the players playing one match and each match is sorted out by the World rankings, so Phil Taylor plays Van Gerwen and Lewis plays Barneveld and whoever is the third rank player from each country play each other and then you can choose who plays the doubles from your team

Most of the countires are struggling to find two players who can be competitive at this level, let alone three.

I don't really think there is much that they can about it really, what you suggest might make it more interesting but I don't really think it would alter the dominance of the same few countries. The fact is England and Holland are just too strong, with only Scotland anywhere near them. England and Holland's second choice pairs would beat most of the other teams that enter.

I can only see England or Holland winning it for the next few years, however as an England fan I don't mind that, I still think its a good tournament and the pairs play is different. It was however far too easy this year for England to get to the final, they barely lost a leg. The tournament needed one of Australia or Scotland in England's half of the draw to make it at least competitive.

Well done to Phil Taylor who won his first big title for 2 years and a very good weekend for Kyle Anderson

Ah yes. Ladders. Dave is from Scunthorpe. Used to work in a soup factory. Works hard on his game but having a full time job too means he doesn't have as much time to practice as some I guess. Has done well in the UK Open too

Wadey playing brilliantly.

That 10 dart leg by MvG when he had a bounce out was incredible. Basically a 9 darter.

And through he goes.

He was outstanding tonight. Hope he can take that form through to the semis.

That was a pretty amazing game. Wade surely in with a very good chance of winning something in quite some time.

Barney 4-0 up and then Gary Anderson turns up the heat.

Some simply phenomenal darts thrown by Gary so far who now leads by 5-4.

Hope this standard continues.
