Lots of people began watching darts last year I think, the level of play today was nothing special. Seeing this averages for over 20 years. Apart from Humphries and Littler, it is really a mediocre tournament mostly. Wright and Price are far from their A game, MvG I have little faith in, Anderson already gone, Clayton nowhere near the player he was a few years ago. Barney a shadow of his former self, Cross was atrocious, Ady Lewis fell off ,no Phil Taylor. Meh, the PDC wc can and should be a lot better than what I have seen so far.
@@kiekiek honestly i don't care if its an average 95 or 105+ match if its as intense and dramatic as price vs cullen. but yeah sure, if they want to beat the lukes they will need to step up a little
It was a breath of fresh air seeing glimpses of the old Peter Wright up there tonight. This guy is overlooked by alot of ‘new’ fans with his downturn in form over the past 2 years when in his Prime he was practically unplayable. Still to this day he holds the record for most 180s in a world championship match (24) showing how ridiculously good his power scoring was while not being known for it.
Even more surprising given how clearly ill he was (constantly having to step aside to cough, also was it just me or is there something off with the left side of his face?). In spite of all that, the darts he threw were just top-class.
Honestly, even as his fan I did not expect Peter Wright to make round 3... From now on I'm happy with his showing in this World Championship, no matter what.
@@jonbonesmahomes7472 think I've been around darts boards long enough to know you cant take any thing for granted at this level! I thing every player has a chance!!
So happy for Peter Wright after all he's been through. Not many players could show up to the WC sick, and still throw a 96 average and a 45% checkout rate.
Gutted for Cullen, especially after taking out an amazing 170 under such immense pressure! Poor bloke always seems to be on the losing end of these World Championship classic games
@@garyrobertson9534Yep thought he was down and out but to come back like that was unbelievable. Just gutted he couldn't get over the line. Hopefully Clayton beats Price in the next round
I swear to God, being a Welshman myself, both Price and Clayton are going to give me a heart attack. Both were coasting in those games and they allowed their opponents to come back. What a 170 to stay in the game though, and I like Joe a lot so I felt quite sorry for him at the end. But what a match! Probably one of the best you'll see in the World finals.
Gerwyn price🏴🏴🏴🏴 I'm so happy for him! Finally win a match like this and also starting to find his form again! Darts needs a good Gerwyn Price! But also I got to say you gotta feel for cullen... I cannot believe how is this man loses every single game in the worlds like this... Playing incedibly good and loose at the 3th or 4th round 4-3 and again on sudden death just like last year against Luke
Now that’s how you play a tiebreaker! Straight chaos haha! Almost went the full 41 legs damn. Thought the 2021 match with Cullen vs MVG was one of the best!
@@Lkasssx crazy how many darts at tops he missed. In his championship run he was clinical with it. Yesterday it was all over the place. But he still ended it with a hit 😄
Damo has let us down again!!!!! 2020 - 2nd round. 2021 - 1st round. 2022 - 3rd round. 2023 - 3rd round. 2024 - 4th round. 2025 - 3rd round......... AGAIN.☹ (Oh well, the Wizard made it into the Final against the GOAT of darts - Phil Taylor)
Wright has been well below standard for 18 months and Wattimena has been playing his best darts for the last 6 months. Wright at his best is too good for Wattimena.
Think we should name it the luke littler world championships. After listening to the luke humphries game. Where one of the commentators never shutup about littler.
Now I have no particular love for Gerwyn Price, but it must be soul destroying when the crowd is cheering harder when you miss all those doubles, than when you win a leg?
You wanna see what they put their spouses through with matches like that, revisit @27:57 - she's shaking more than me on 9th dart for a 9-darter. Oof, that match aged Pricey by a couple of years I reckon. Me too. lolz
That 170 checkout by Cullen is a piece of art
Majestic.
The price is right
Unfortunately followed it with a horrendous leg
piece i guess.
Peace? 😂 you berk!
Gezzy vs Cullen was an absolute classic!!! that 170 from Cullen was absolutely clutch!!!!!
The sound of the dart going in the bull is so good
170 is a pretty easy finish
@@Rocky0Road Put a video up of you hitting it mate 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Rocky0Roadshut up you melt you couldn't finish your dinner let alone a 170

So true. Prime wright in my opinion way up there on the list, only behind Taylor, mvg and perhaps anderson
Couldnt agree more, hes had a horrendous year, summed up by the premier league most of all

In spite of all that, the darts he threw were just top-class.
@BlackPawn14 probably getting the excuses in early. No way should he be up there competing ill as it's a total disrespect to everybody else up there.

26:38 Price: "Unf***ing believable" .. then the announcer right after - "'.. Gerwyn Price, he can't believe it!" 🤣

Great spot 🙌

He was great on the doubles and W was playing bad.
Also didnt expect him to win.

Wattimena is having the best year of his career but isn't good enough to win majors.
So Clayton vs Price in the last 16. That should be fun!
Neither playing as well as they did a couple of years ago. I’m welsh but neither have a chance against the lukes these days I don’t think.

What a game by gezzy and cullen, that 170 to bring it back to 5-5 was insane....... One of the best WDC matches ever???
Brilliant 👏
No. Price won.

Disgraceful that he would risk making other players ill.

So gutted love Joe Cullen what an epic game that was, you could see the relief on price’s face, what a battle

Gutted for Cullen, especially after taking out an amazing 170 under such immense pressure! Poor bloke always seems to be on the losing end of these World Championship classic games

@@WSNBM-1908I won't disagree with that, just gutted Cullen didn't win really he always seems to be the victim of these really close WC games
@UnitedReds99what did they call Michael Smith for years when he was doing similar? A bottler. They's exactly what Cullen is
That 170 has to be one of the best checkouts of all time
UK players are SO good at this game. They bring the excitement in a match as well as superior skill levels.
If Price starts to hit doubles he will win the whole lot
Not really Humphries and Littler are both better than him
@UnitedReds99 Price at his best beats them
@@J10WilshereNot for me Price at his best is the 3rd best player behind Humphries and Littler

@@kaif6558 It's been a while since we've seen that though, I'm not sure that game is there anymore
Gezzy and Wright winning makrs it feel like the band is getting back together. 😂
Fair play to Cullen for the fightback. But equally fair play to Gezzy Price for holding his nerve
Did not see Peter beating Jermaine, but darts is bloody unpredictable.
Really? Lol.

@26:20..... the Cullen 170 if anyone was looking for it.....
Yeah, glad Price. Hope he gets far and the crowd finally stops turning on him..
No.
Couldn't agree more
The crowd is turning against him because he is behaving like a psychopath. Not like a sportsman.
@@donjohn7679 go look how Aspinall looked his last match
@@donjohn7679the crowd is full of psychopaths. Imagine trying to put a professional off whilst doing their job
Humphries makes it look so easy. World Champion again I believe
It's between 3 players in my opinion
MVG, littler and Humphries
@@robbie4084 i think it will be decided in the semi between luke and luke and then we hopefully see a fight from MVG
@Infiltator2 I'm off a similar opinion it should be a cracker
Not in my books. Humphries has had his 15 minutes of Fame. If littler can keep up his performance. It's going to be a littler v mvg final.
@cliffbutler9820 I think that would be an incredible final,
Let's see if it pans out to be that way

Yep and I remember the MVG one which again he lost 4-3 too. Crazy man
@UnitedReds99 also 2 years ago against kleermaker 4-3... Incredible how he always losses matches by tie break in the worlds
Cullen is a truly great talent.. Hopefully his day will come..What a match though!
That 170 from Cullen might be one of the greatest checkouts under pressure. He couldn’t miss and he didn’t miss.
Price vs Cullen what a match .. and my favourite Luke Humphries gliding threw
Ice ice baby !
Peter Wright using darts from the 2020 World Championship?
How do you remember all that stuff lol 😅
Yes🤩
Thank you Peter wright for using your best darts and big congrats and hope you feel better.
What a come Joe, I was rooting for you! 170 was clutch!
Wright don't change they darts
cant remember when I was more happy for Gezzy than today.. sheesh, it was soo emotional
God damn that price match was awesome
Great to see Peter back and throwing pretty consistent. Loving Duzza in the commentary box btw
Your still a champion Cullen know matter what mate👍
I love watching Gerwyn Price 👌
28:00 the Missus absolutely trembling😭😭😭
Joe Cullen Take a bow sir that big fish was a megalodon ,unbelievable bottle from the rockstar ⭐️
Take em on Gerwyn! Take the whole crowd head on!
Wow. What a day ! Fantastic entertainment !
Now that’s how you play a tiebreaker! Straight chaos haha! Almost went the full 41 legs damn. Thought the 2021 match with Cullen vs MVG was one of the best!
So happy to see Price back at his game 😂 one of the best players to watch
That 170 from Cullen was clutch
Joe always the bridesmaid never the bride
Seeing Price's wife shaking at the end just shows the toll it must take on the family.
Yeah I noticed that 😮
FairPlay Joe Cullen! 👏 That 170 was something else with what was at stake 🎯
That 170 by Cullen was more impressive than the 9-darter. Just a shame he couldn’t finish it out. Props to the Iceman
what a game wow this world championship is going great, a lot of great games so far that big fish from cullen was a real piece of art
World Champsionship Darts 🎉
The best !
Always some top notch nail biters ❤❤❤
Go Price !!
Glad to see Cullen find some semblance of form and look a little like his former self. Nevertheless, feel awful for him losing in that fashion.
28:00 its real wife
Thanks for the quick upload little Luke might be favourite & we love him but big Luke❤loving the darts
My favourite player wrighty finding some unexpected form great to see!
Ive watched the matched of peter wright and now im ill, thank you Peter!
COME ON GERWYN WIN THIS FOR WALES!!!!!!
Cullen won more legs but lost the match.
Set play can be brutal.
True. But honestly it should never have been that close anyway. If price wasn't playing like an amateur on his doubles tonight he would've won 4-1
@@Lkasssx crazy how many darts at tops he missed. In his championship run he was clinical with it. Yesterday it was all over the place.

T19 T19 25 would've left 167, so it was more than likely just a set-up shot

Happy for Wrights continued success and doing much better than vs Plaisier
Another heartbreaking for Joe since WC 24.. But that 170 totally insane
Price sick as a dog and the crowd cheering his every miss . . . his fellow players like him, says a lot about the English
The English support their own. Like every other nation on Earth.
what a game Gerwyn vs Joe was.
Well done price good man👍
Snakebite has fight.. Cullen with a 170 belter.. and Cool Hand getting the job done in quick time!
All 3 Cullen's ex-girlfriends liked his 170 out
Why
Price vs Cullen was amazing, tho I feel both probably would be even better if they keep there cool more. Perhaps a mindset coach would do both good.
What are the crowd chanting at 0:54?
Kolo Touré and Yaya Touré
@ thanks mate, always cracks me up hearing it
Humphries wasn't pushed for better play, that's his "B" game.
He does this a lot
@MrFirefox enough to win a lot of money
Could Gezzy win the title?
All i can say is, there are a few players that would have punished him like Cullen couldnt quite achieve
Not whilst missing doubles like this.
11:20 Peter Wright sneezed on him.
Well played snakebite Peter Wright to KO Jermaine Wattimena at the Alexandra Palace 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯💙💙💙💙🤍🤍🤍🤍💙💙💙💙
A tough out for Wright, wasn't Wattimena the favorite?
I see snake bite has the whooping cough too. Don't worry I've had it for a month it won't kill you.
Get well soon
can anyone explain how wattimena was favourite to go through against Wright I thought he threw terribly
Not terrible at all. Wright was just better
Wright has not played good darts in nearly 2 years now.
Wright has been well below standard for 18 months and Wattimena has been playing his best darts for the last 6 months.
Wright at his best is too good for Wattimena.
Seriously how much can one man take, Gutted for Joe Cullen.
9 darter doesn’t even compare to the skill and precision in achieving a 147 in snooker absolutely no comparison.
really felt emotional for the lady who shed tears when Cullen was eliminated😢😢😢...there's always next time
The lady @28:00 is Gezzy's wife! She was in bits 😂
🤣🤣 Hilarious
I just noticed Joe Cullen is throwing down with his second throw each time not sure if late release or arm action.
Think we should name it the luke littler world championships. After listening to the luke humphries game. Where one of the commentators never shutup about littler.
Always like it when the thumbnail gives the game away
