England’s duo with historical bankruptcy against Martin Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko

There are starting locations that are deserved, but are not really fair. Examples of this: Anyone who has to compete against the Brazilian selection in indoor football, which deals with tricks and technology, looks into the tube as well as those unfortunate droplets that have to compete with a full-time US team at a basketball tournament (should occur from time to time). What the Brazilian is tricking with the ball and the Ami is the same in a circular hole is the English to throw arrows on a disc.

If other nations have expired to the mother country of football as a leading kick-nation-nobody in the darts does anything to the residents of the island so quickly. The last three world champions have an English passport – and the current title holder is Luke Littler. As a reminder: This is this 18-year-old, whose natural habitat seems to be a pub with dart pane and who threw himself to the latest champion ever. Something like the Messi of the steel arrows.

Instead, there was a first class dismissal for the English team: With 8: 4 the German Darts team won, which led commentators in addition to speak of the « greatest victory in German darts of darts ». The completely deserved defeat seemed to be a blow to the English stomach area. « Shocking » and « devastating » (Daily Mail) Be it what the two top players would have shown. The opinion of the not known for reluctance Sun: Germany « broke down the two stars into their individual parts ». How can this be explained? Maybe with bad luck, perhaps with a weakness of Littler, to whom German halls seem to have been very impressed.

Martin Schindler’s advice: « Leave the Church in the Village. »

The German professionals could hardly believe their luck – and yet Germanic objectivity quickly prevailed. Martin Schindler’s well -intentioned advice on his own camp, probably also to that of the English and all: « Leave the Church in the Village. » That the English were not Brazilians on this day – but on that day the Ami himself saw that.
