Can't wait for this to start, after the year we've had, and many global events cancelled good to see this is one of the events still going ahead with world prominence.

The fact that I don't know what sport you're on about says about how much I feel about this particular event

I just googled the fixtures and ended up here:

Will it be PPV?

Piss Poor Viewing?

 

[Official Old Man]

Is there too much darts on TV right now? If it's not on Sky then ITV4
At some point it could be overkill.

 

[Easy 10]

The day I start watching pub games on TV is the day I give up on life. I would literally rather watch my freezer defrost.

Could you watch mine as well? Maybe it would give me the motivation to do it. Could stream it perhaps. Only £10, cheaper than watching Brighton lose.

If its throwing darts at politicians, take my creidt card details now!

 

[Grombleton]

I thought this was going to be about the World Cup of Tube Lines that is currently in the Quarter Final stage at the moment.

Go Victoria Line!

There probably is, but this is the World Cup, and national pride is a stake, these players will be desperate to lift silverware for their respective countries. It is the most open tournament in years too, you could make a case for 8 countries winning it.

If I can have the Findus Crispy Bake Pancakes and the radio on, you've got yourself a deal.

 

[Eeyore]

Sorry, is this Tiddlywinks, Subbuteo ?

Belgium v Uganda

This is what sport is all about.

At the very least, the Uganda Darts Association deserve more than the current 10 views of their 2020 press conference video.

Don't overcook it Crodo. You have already created a lively debate

 

[Guinness Boy]

Which is, presumably, why there's no sweepstake.......

Gurjit's off work with genital warts at the moment, if I can find an alternative moderator to ensure a fair draw and there is demand I'll do a sweepstake tomorrow.

Have I missed something? I thought England were playing against Ilagan & Malicdem of the Philippines?

Also, where are the Czech Rep, Poland & Finland?

Rep. Ireland vs Australia looks like a tasty game though.
