England's darts pros suffer a nail-biting loss to the German squad - Thrilling Triumph of German Darts Team over English Counterparts
Martin Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko, the German darts duo, danced with joy, sending the Frankfurt crowd into a frenzy. They've made headlines by conquering the top favorites from England, a team brimming with World Champion Luke Littler and former champions Luke Humphries, securing an 8-4 triumph in an exhilarating match.
This upcoming Sunday (14:15 CET/DAZN), Schindler and Pietreczko will face Damon Heta and Simon Whitlock from Australia in the quarterfinals of the best eight teams.
"We ain't no pushovers," Schindler asserted. "Everyone's got England on their mind, creating a mental advantage for us," he boasted.
Pietreczko, his teammate, chimed in, "We're here to sweep the trophy clean," but Schindler quickly interjected, "Easy there, partner. One step at a time, or else we'll end up taking a nose-dive."
The raucous home crowd spurred the Germans on, as they took a swift 2-0 lead, only to see England even things up at 2-2. Fueled by the boisterous fans, Germany surged ahead, leading 7-2, a decisive turning point in the match.
Schindler and Pietreczko had bested the teams from Singapore and Portugal earlier. This new world-beating team stands to get approximately 94,000 euros in prize money.
