    This year sounds like it was a mess trying to organise- Greece are in now for Croatia, New Zealand not able to travel and Russia had to swap Gurbanov for Izotov


    Few teams capable of winning it this year than last- Wales (Clayton/Price), Netherlands (MVG/DVD), England (Wade/Chisnall), Scotland (Wright/Henderson)

    An absolute stinker of a draw for Ireland I'd strongly fancy Wales to retain

    Think Australia could do well , Whitlock and Heta, especially after what happened to Kyle.

    Love this tournament, probably the only unranked one I bother with all year.

    Portugal in round one... bollocks. Well, we're boned unless Marques pulls down De Sousa.

    Could work in a favor though. Jose may struggle to get into a rhythm in the pairs format

    Good game there with Czech Republic and Poland. Gawlas looks one for the future and Ratajski showed his class

    Hopefully snakebite can get it done here

    Can’t stand him since that snail like performance against Anderson, there’s gamesmanship but that was disgraceful.

    He likes to portray himself as a great guy but he’s a knob

    Delighted for Hendo alright, you could see how much it means to him.


    I enjoy the World Cup but I think the format needs to change so we see more doubles matches. That's what really sets this tournament apart, not the numerous short singles matches.
