Top 5 Matches Pre-Christmas | 2023/24 World Darts Championship

[@marcschmidt157]

Hempel's comeback surely was number 1. Littler against Kist wasn't really a "match"

[@rewa97197]

Agreed. If they wanted the highest average, Bunting should be 1.

[@laverage4273]

💯

[@Ppopulair]

This was a special win for Littler cause Cristian is a former world champion

[@rosslittlejohn5515]

Hes 16 m8(allegedly)..thats awesome..defo no 1 regardless..ba humbug to u sir😂

[@lbreindl6]

​@@Ppopulairmore because it was his ally pally debut. Kist is one of the worst world champions ever

[@JD-re3cj]

From 2 sets 2 legs vs 0 sets and 2 legs to Hempel winning the match is the best comeback this year probably won’t be beaten

[@BullshotDarts]

Thumbs up for Matt Campbell!!!

[@reiniervanessen2787]

Is 11 seated players exit is there first match a record? Feels like it could be

[@mitchellporthouse2559]

Smith v Doets?

[@doraemon402]

A player demolishing someone isn't a "top 5 match", it's only competitive matches that should be here

[@matthiaskeuchel9529]

where is bunting ? :D

[@chivars1968]

Just saw Snakebites demise coming. Sad. And why can he just not settle for one set of darts. RVB seems to have found his

[@LordMJM]

Imagine uploading a video about the darts on Christmas Day. Get a life

[@sportnerd822]

Imagine being on youtube during Christmas Day get a life

[@LordMJM]

​@@sportnerd822 so do you have no life either?

[@jackdavies4078]

Imagine making and editing a video Christmas Eve, uploading it and scheduling a release so your company can make money while you take Christmas Day off 😂

[@zxhj8738]

​@@LordMJMyou have no life because u comment about having no life + noone likes you and your life is sad

[@sportnerd822]

@@LordMJM sorry didn't see you there I am spending quality time with my family and friends

[@garyparkinson6198]

Hemple the performance of the championship so far regardless of averages. Hitting that 151 knowing he needed to win to keep his tour card was incredible bottle.

[@strapats1]

He seems to find develop some kind of superpower when playing Dimitri at the Worlds. He did the same thing two years ago when he turned into an absolute beast. Kinda hurts as a Belgian 🥲

[@ryanjones3743]

The two 10 dart back to back legs aswell, best darts set I've seen from anyone , Id've liked to see that set average it had to be 110 plus

[@lordyeetus6317]

I think Dobey v O'Connor or even Gurney v Beaton should be ahead of Littler v Kist.

[@nathan2497]

Smith vs Doets aswell

[@MySkillionaire]

All three games should be ahead of Littler vs. Kvist - especially Smith vs Doets.

[@ro_stock2083]

O‘Connor against Dobey was by far the best match of the tourney together with doets vs smith

[@KingJohnson1985]

Not at all...not even Top5...

[@anthonycollette4583]

Hempel vs van den bergh was 1000% the best match not even close

[@rewa97197]

This obsession with Littler is getting annoying, just like with Sherrock any chance they get, or like with Rock last year. It's not doing anyone any good. It's just business from Sky and PDC, so they can advertise with a new face. We are able to see through their tricks. Legends are not created by forcing certain talents down our throats, instead this will have the opposite effect. We will only take merit seriously.

[@jordanharrison8454]

Calm down

[@stephenmcculloch7192]

Agreed, been about 2mins & already all this hullabaloo

[@Sam.o.29]

Littler has earned his hype through merit. He's won loads of WDF titles, he's won the super series twice, he's won a tour card through the development tour, round 4 of the UK open. Now through to 3rd round of the world's all at 16. This hype has been well and truly earned through merit

[@Luvarby]

You are just easily annoyed. Luke Littler was born of a virgin, an immaculate conception, and with that, a new star appeared in the sky, with Bristow, Taylor & Priestly bearing gifts of tungsten, frankincense and myrrh. The kid is easily the greatest dart player, currently, in the world. He will easily win THIS tournament, and will own at least 10 major titles by the time he's 22, whilst Josh Rock & Callan Rydz earn Kebab money on the Modus Super Series. Sky and PDC are not promoting this kid enough. He is the Tiger Woods of darts, and the money and more TV time will follow. Embrace the prophet. You will look back at this post of yours with complete embarrassment one day. Sometimes it is hard to see what's in front of your face. Praise the baby dart Jesus. Heil Littler!!

[@Luvarby]

@@stephenmcculloch7192 Littler heals the sick and raises the dead. Littler feeds the multitudes with a single warm beer & a meat pie. Littler may one day clear your blindness. You will never see the likes of Littler again in your lifetime. Praise Littler. Littler save the King.

[@yusufluhar5881]

Florian Hempel gotta be number one

[@example2844]

I wouldn't have said littler vs Kist was the BEST match, it was certainly very good, but it was more about Littler's phenomenal performance, it takes 2 people to create a great match, not just 1

[@Notgoodatgaming101]

How is O’Connor Vs Dobey not on here wtf Same with Doets and Smith

[@waleedqamar39]

Hempel's 151 check out is the best check out of the championship so far 👍 cause if hadn't score that Dimitri only required 45 and he should have won the match.

[@avfchd1877]

Dobey O'Connor has to be on this

[@robin180hsv]

You left Smith v Doets and Dobey v O Connor out to put Kist v Littler at 1? Ridiculous

[@Stachli]

Just because there was a sudden death leg, doesn't mean it was a thrilling match..

[@hazzard123]

But it was a great match wdym

[@lbreindl6]

​@@R_G88888you named the reason... Mansell is one of the most boring players to watch

[@MySkillionaire]

Put Wade vs Campbell and Littler vs Kist out and Smith vs Doets and O´Connor vs Dobey in.

[@dannylawton9330]

Dobey o Connor ?

[@Pim-kj1fz]

Just one more time RVB as champion he deserves it!

[@LordMJM]

No he doesn't. Hasn't won a major since 2014.

[@thatonepole]

nope.

[@doraemon402]

Maybe you should quit crack

[@liborkundrat185]

"deserves it" He's gotta earn it at the stage.

[@pogbajohn]

pls dont bring back Pyke and Turner for coms after xmas

[@chrisschick38]

Rod Studd is a great commentator.

[@t87mitch]

Lets go campbell!!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@krereal8011]

Stephen Bunting's average is over 107, not even in the top five.That is very sad.

[@frozyre7854]

Because he has a knack of bottling. Sort of like Chizzy where he can hit a lot of clutch throws but really, he has a hard time capitalizing on the momentum to win important games when they need to win it.

[@sportnerd822]

Christmas is all about darts

[@misfit2022]

Pre Christmas I would plump for Chris Dobey v Willie O' Connor

[@samuelf3866]

Hemple game not at 1 is a joke...

[@Raziel_HHL]

the real question is, is Leung vs van Veen #1 or not?

[@tomtgm773]

Where is campbell ilagam

[@martinkomarek9495]

There should be R.Evans vs N.Aspinall or D.Gurney vs S.Beaton 😡😡☝️

[@luukdewaal9648]

Why is Littler vs Kist nr 1, most boring match ever tbh, Hempel's comeback was way better.

[@bavan6134]

Smith vs Doets??? Are you drunk or what?

[@papiasmondijar3176]

Hi nice to see the macht.hope icant buy the pin and dark bord but now i dont have money to buy this beucause very expences

[@Gavin1Ruff]

The best matches were Dobey v O’Connor and Smith v Doets but a 16 year old wasn’t playing in either of them so I guess they don’t count.

[@spagheddy338]

Now i'm hyped to see R. Smith vs Dobey. Both with high quality darts on the same level 😮

[@neilreading3552]

"The Great James Wade", not sure that's strictly accurate, he didn't seem very great when he got knocked out.

[@anthonymatute6057]

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to the Professional Darts Corporation 🎄🎅🎁

Hempels shirt instantly reminded me of the WonderBread packaging LOLOL

[@thorbenvanglabeke4549]

[@luke-tm3ef]

Dobey vs o connnor?

[@Sleepyjoeisgay]

Luke Woodhouse and van peer was so good man how is that not on the list😢

[@ninjagumer]

smith vs doets was the best match of the championship

[@mr.timjohnston546]

Luke should be paying more attention to that big role around his gut!! 16 and he looks like that??! shameful

[@jamoin3829]
