Tonight was a showcase of how far darts has come. Every player deserves a medal after that. Cracking stuff X

[@yusufluhar5881]

OH MY WORD. Dimitri Van Den Bergh, Peter Wright, Michael Van Gerwen and Nathan Aspinall take a bow all 4 of u. That was simply breathtaking. They have served up a ridiculously brilliant night of darts. That was absolutely unbelievable, the bottle these guys have under pressure is simply astonishing. Peter Wright started off in like a man possessed but what a comeback from Dimi in the first match from 5-1 to 11-5. He wasnt even playing bad when he was 5-1 down and he never let the scoreline affect his performance. I thought he would run away with it at 11-5 but damn Peter Wright from 12-7 down to 13-12 up with a break, that was truly remarkable and a huge twist in the tale. From that point it was anybodys match but credit to Dimi for recomposing himself to get the win in the best match of the tournament so far. I thought the second one wouldnt be as close as the first and when MVG was playing the way he was at 11-4 i thought yeah routine win but boy was i wrong again. The Asp showed unbelievable mental fortitude to comeback and almost level the match. In the end, the crowd were disrupting things but MVG fittingly responded to silence the silly booers with his first ton+ checkout of the match to finish in amazing style. Bring on that semi final between MVG and DVDB i simply cannot wait for those fireworks come Saturday night.

[@xtheamazingax]

That 146 was a thing of beauty. Especially considering the crowd were on his back. That'll teach em. Btw, if Price beats De Sousa, Price will be World Number One once again.

[@yusufluhar5881]

@@xtheamazingax it was a brilliant way to silence the crowd. Aspinalls comeback was brilliant but the crowd really shouldnt have whistled and booed when MVG had 3 match darts. He showed them in the next leg though ;) Oh wow i forgot about the world number 1 battle lol.

I was Belgian guy on July 21st (National holiday) who was almost crying of happiness when it was 11-5. After that i almost fell off my chair when it was 13-12, I was crying of sadness for my hero because whright was also playing soooo good. Erik Clarys who was commentating said in leg 27: the player who wins leg 29, will win the match. So when I saw dimi winning that leg I was screaming the whole house togheter to just roar dimi to a break of throw in leg 30. When I saw the 177 to set up 44 I knew he wouldn't miss because Eric said so. I was so pumped up that I couldn't stop cheering. I can't wait for Dimi-MvG, Belgium-The Netherlands, which makes this semi even more special. I believe in Dimi's dream to write history again! The whole country is behind you, Dimi, you can do this!
