WDF World Cup Men Overall 2007

It was sixteen years ago that the WDF World Cup was held in the Netherlands in 1991. Then Zandvoort was the place, this time Rosmalen was chosen as the host city. The darts landscape in the Netherlands, however, had changed completely in the past years after five world titles by Raymond van Barneveld. Unfortunately for the Dutch fans, Barney switched to the PDC a year earlier and was not as a player at this cup. However, there is a lot of media attention and the semi-finals and finals are broadcast live on TV.

A record number of 41 men's teams, 38 women's teams and 15 youth teams find their way to the Netherlands where the Autotron hosts the tournament from 11 to 14 October. Iceland, Iran, Trinidad & Tobago and Turkey make their debut at a WDF World Cup. It will be a successful edition for the organizing country, with enough drama at the end.

It was a very close affair in the overall ranking of 2007. The Netherlands with Co Stompé, Mario Robbe, Joey ten Berge & Niels de Ruiter eventually takes gold in front of their home crowd with 108 points, which is five points more than the English quartet. Wales takes the bronze with 82 points thanks to Mark Webster who wins the singles. Finland with 56 points and Norway with 46 points fall just off the podium. It is the second time for the Netherlands that they take this title after they already took it home in 2005. After England, the Netherlands is now the second country to successfully defend a WDF World Cup.
