It really is a hard decision. In the fan village you LITERALLY cannot hear anything what happens in the matchroom and there are always a couple of blokes who don't make it back in time after the set break, you can easily miss a whole set.
I have to admit, I had no earthly clue what I was watching when I first stumbled about this. I'm just an ugly American trying to make it through this world. I came away from this wishing these commentators would broadcast our baseball and football games, and it's just enjoyable to watch a bunch of people truly enjoying themselves. Just looks like an awesome good time.
When MVG missed that D12, I thought to myself, "Surely Bully Boy won't miss either, will he?" and Bully Boy comes up and calmly takes the 141 out. Incredible.
Well done to smith. The only player who would of not only given mvg a good game but had a good chance to match him and even beat him. Great final with 2 quality people and darts players.
the best darts is played when both opponents are playing on an equally good/great level. It just pushes you further up. Remember the 17 perfect darts in a row by MVG a few years ago? That one was crazy too. I wish Jackpot, Snakebite, The Power, Mighty Mike and Barney would all play against each other with their respective prime darts. That would be a feast!
Ive came home early that day bc my date didnt went too well .. just because of that i was able to watch this incredible moment together with my dad live infront of the TV 5 minutes later and i would have missed it !!
You have to score 501 points. The absolute minimum number of throws you need to do to score those points is 18, but that requires every single dart to be thrown perfectly, and its a feat of such skill that its extremely hard even for professionals. In this grand final, both contestants essentially throw perfect darts, except one of them misses the very last dart throw, and then the other one does not miss. Its never been seen before.
I heard about this leg on the local Danish news, the audio seemed out of this world, so I had to see the video.. I'm glad everyone enjoys this so much, I envy you.. But I don't understand what's special about this ? they are not even hitting bulls eye everytime ?
You need to be the first one to throw 501 points to win a round aka a leg and that can be done by throwing 9 perfect darts. In this clip Van Gerwen almost threw a 9 darter and then Smith actually did. So basically this was a perfect leg of darts that never happened before (correct me if I'm wrong) hence it's an instant historical moment.
It would be like two opposing baseball pitchers both throwing a no-hitter at the same time. Every time I travel to the UK I love watching people going crazy over darts or snooker...
@@Cloudy_4x nope never happened in the history of darts, it may happen again as the level just keeps getting better in this game, but you'd probably need these two for it to happen again, they are just a different breed
The part that goes amiss here is that after MVG missed the double 12, Smith put out his hand as to say good effort, but when Smith hit the 9 darter MVG did not give the same acknowledgement that is why in that match I was happy Smith hit the 9 darter and won the world championship. even in the heat of battle and history he could still acknowledge the fact.
I do wonder.... What if van Gerwen had hit that double-12 and made a 9-darter? Would Smith had been allowed to atleast throw those 3 darts to atleast have 9 darts in the leg to equal? Are there ány rules for that? It would seem merely fair imho...
Easily the best leg ever, and it can’t be topped. 17/18 perfect darts in the leg is absurd
Only way it can be topped is if the first attempt is successful
@@genericaccount2056 Not true. Smith couldn't have done his 9 darter then
@@Luca-uz8pm exactly that’s why it’s so good
@@Luca-uz8pm 17/17 is better than 17/18
@@genericaccount2056 It would've been 15/15 then not 17/17
Imagine you're at Ally Pally and you think: Naaaw what's going to happen if I go to the bathroom or order some beer now
For sure after that you'll never ever take a bathroom break during a darts match 😂
Without a doubt, there would've been people who done that and missed it. 😅
I put on arsenal new castle during commercial break before that set and forgot to put it back on the darts. Bad call by me

There are so many breaks, If you do that while they play you deserve it lol
That won't be repeated in our lifetimes ! What an utterly incredible leg of darts !! You couldn't make it up, well done both players.

That awful John Sterling disappeared yet? His awful voice is all that comes to mind when i think of American commentary.
I'm sooo glad I witnessed this masterpiece live on TV. 😍😍😍
The moment, the direction of this match changed into Smiths favor. What an insane leg.

The craziest 63 seconds of our lives.
That‘s hard if you HAVE to play a 9-darter to win a break!
1:07 the umpire/scorer as a grin from ear to ear. haha
I wonder if Wayne Mardle can spike yet
I hope not, I hope he’s got permanent voice loss

Better than the whole FIFA World Cup
“I can’t speak! I can’t speak!”
We have GOT to make that our voicemail message.
I CAN'T SPAEK! I CAN'T SPAEK!
Wayne Mardle was amazing this event
Wayne mardle is a bulb
If only he’d stop spaking
@@ShalomBrother Hawaii Five Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@@owen1418 Wayne Mardle would say Mass.
You won’t see the like again!! Mr Mardle is spot on for once!! What an amazing leg of darts! Never to be repeated!!
Incredible stunning amazing the greatest leg of all time
'a can't spaike!
Great darts & a great player too do it !!
I CANT SPAKE
Simply amazing
If only sid Waddell was still here that would have been absolutely wild! Missed dearly 🙏
Yeah. I’d do anything to make that happen. I’m not a religious man, but I really hope Sid got to see this.
'I can't spake, I can'r spake' taken from a rugby league commentary. Brilliant.
History right here.

That was insane
It'll be a lonnnnnnnnng time before we see the likes of this again! Incredible 👏🏼👏🏼
That little twitch/wrinkle of the eye before throwing his ninth dart: he knew he was gonna hit it.
I am just glad I saw it live.
Never ever be matched 👌👌👌👌
can you imagine if mvg had got the double 12 . smith would have been gutted also .
Watched the Final live on TV, it was epic!!! SMASH the like button people!!!!! The only thing that will top this is 2 legs in a row like that.
Come on a long way since I was watching, Bristow, Wilson, Lowe, Bobby George, Lazarenko and so on.
Genius
Unbelievable. Out of this world. And I thought Leighton Rees versus Alan Evans was great in 1978 and 1979!!!
In my 60 years, never ever have i seen 😉👍
Epic
Would love to have seen what Sid would have made of that. Just imagine.
I was so close to a 9 darter. I missed the first treble! Greatest leg of darts though!
WOW x
17 perfect darts, MvG can do that All by himself
MVG did that all by himself at the WC in 2013 against James Wade
@@zedearl5181 I guess that's why he said that.

what a moment for you ! 🎉❤
18 Darts thrown
1 miss
Only the great Sid Waddell could have topped that commentary.
“ I can’t spake , I can’t spake “ ……..yes , I can tell
Finale: check
17/18 perfect Darts (the highest it can be): check
This sport has never looked so great.
Have no clue about the rules, or anything! But I am here for the crowds reaction!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Unbelievable! I just wish it had been the other caller for the game! His throat would have exploded!
Indeed, kinda reminds me of jjj
Why are there that many fans going wild for a dart game? Actually amazing
Because it's a good time out and a bit of fun. People are allowed to enjoy themselves 🙂
Where've you been mate? lol Its always been bonkers! This though was somthing else!
I heard about this leg on the local Danish news, the audio seemed out of this world, so I had to see the video..
I'm glad everyone enjoys this so much, I envy you.. But I don't understand what's special about this ? they are not even hitting bulls eye everytime ?
I SAW THIS LIVE
I like his beard.
15 out 15 would be even better, wouldn't it?
이게 돼? 이게 되냐구!
I can't spike! I can't spike!
Can someone explain this?

Van Gerwen is just not fat enough. More beer for him!
Fantastic single leg of darts, but I don't think it was a great final, despite the silly hysterics of the commentators. Baby Herman never turned up.

Most crazy, or craziest. Not most craziest.
Either 'most crazy' or 'craziest'. Never 'most craziest'.
Why did you do that for? But yeah it was definitely the most craziest.
You can't say most craziest. It's "the craziest" or "most crazy".
Mostest craziestest and bestest everest - peak of perfection!
Basically everyone: Wow, this is amazing
You: ACkshuuuaalllly this is how you say it
bad english
Most craziest? That's bad English.
He couldn't have put that double 12 in easier if he'd walked up to the board and pushed it in!
What a god
Holy fkin shit balls. Amazing.
