But against the end of the game, you went a bit lost the goal security in the crucial moments. A higher checkout as exactly 100 should not be in it — and even with the checkout quota (9 out of 20), a lot has been left.

Routine Beaten, in which Darts scene called only The Bronzed Adonis, meanwhile also against adversity from outside. Finally, the 57-year-old was laid out in his enema from the fans who held to Sherlock. He blended the ancillary noise in the Alexandra Palace at his 31st World Cup participation. Although Sherlock brought himself to the second and fourth sentence in the meantime, but had to be beaten ultimately.

Against Beaton, she was also considered the missed World Cup in the course as a light favorite — and had made aware of in advance with this statement in advance: I love to zip people in the pub. And then I say, 'Google Me!'

Beaten, who now meets the Belgian Kim Huybrechts, had apparently gained Sherlock in advance and prepared for the duel with her. For the exciting match with her, the compatriot also had praise afterwards: She simply continued to play so well. Fallon did it very well. Just not good enough on this Sunday evening.

While Schindler came to I want from Rammstein to the stage, the election-Kölner Hempen sang according to Holstein Jung by Brings. This was nothing for the euphoric audience, they did not seem to know the party song.
