Martin Schindler has criticised the booing from the crowd that plagued Luke Littler and Luke Humphries in their shock World Cup of Darts defeat.
On Saturday Germany’s Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko eliminated the England team of Littler and Humphries, who had been the overriding favourites to win the tournament at the outset of the competition.
Littler and Humphries, the top two players in the world, lost 8-4 in the last 16 at the Eissporthalle in Frankfurt.
The crowd were highly partisan in Germany’s favour, but Schindler suggested that it went too far.
“I think it was definitely one of the best atmospheres we’ve had in a World Cup. Obviously we have to say that we don’t approve of the whistling and booing,” Schindler said afterwards.
Highlights from the second round game between England and Germany at the World Cup of Darts
“For us we have to say it’s not getting easier for us because our opponents are getting booed or whistled. So we still need to go out there and perform and we’ve done that.
“Both Lukes have been struggling as it seems and I think the day is done now for us and we are happy that we won that one.”
‘Brutal’ for Humphries and Littler
Germany will next play Australia in the quarter-finals in the Sunday afternoon session. Australia’s Damon Heta is aware of the impact the home crowd could have.
“They [Littler and Humphries] probably relied on each other thinking: ‘Oh he’ll do the business.’ But at the same time the conditions weren’t great, the crowd was all for Germany, it was probably brutal out there for them,” he said.
“They’ll take it as another learning curve and they’ll probably get stronger, unfortunately for the rest of us.
“Fair play to Germany, they played good darts. At the end of day we just worry about us and what we’ve got to do.”

These are the 3 biggest games of Week 15 — for both fantasy football and NFL playoff implications
As we head toward the end of the NFL regular season, massive games for postseason implications intersect with critical matchups for the fantasy football playoffs. In Week 15, we have three such games between teams slated for playoff pushes. Here, I’ll break down those three games and the stakes involved for each team using The Athletic’s Playoff Simulator, along with a fantasy football note you need to know for both sides.A blend of both worlds.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo Bills at New England PatriotsConsidering these two teams play in the sme division, I don’t think it takes much to see what the stakes are here. The Patriots are already the heavy favorite to win the AFC East after defeating Buffalo at home earlier this season. If they win here, it’s over for the Bills’ chances to take it back. A win here would also […]
Horníček v brance Bragy udržel v Evropské lize počtvrté čisté konto
Zápas v Nice rozhodl Španěl Victor, jehož gól vynesl Braze čtvrtou výhru a zvýšil její šance na přímý postup do osmifinále. Zato francouzský tým je v krizi, utrpěl osmou porážku v řadě napříč soutěžemi, v Evropské lize je stále bez bodu a nový trenér Gerardo Seoane, který se v říjnu vrátil na lavičku, ho zatím neprobudil.V Razgradu nejprve překonal Pavlenku nejlepší střelec soutěže srbský útočník Stanič. Probil se obranou a po hattricku proti Celtě Vigo vstřelil zblízka už šestý gól. O obrat se proti svým krajanům postaral Despodov, který přišel do Soluně právě z Razgradu. Nejprve vyrovnal šikovným lobem a pak připravil druhý gól pro Itala Vogliacca. Verdon z Beninu a Čočev pak nasměrovali za Pavlenkova záda dvě přesné hlavičky, ale ani Filip Kaloč se v sestavě domácích výhry nedočkal.
