@dcro German/Croatian Dragutin Horvat is playing at the moment, his nickname is Braco. The Dutch commentators just said "that must be Croatian, apparently it means 'little brother'", is that true?

Van Gerwen in the Dutch TV studio today (with Van der Voort), and man, he is MAD about not being nominated for "Sportsman of the Year"  

 

"What more do they want me to win??"

 

How about the World Championships.. 

 

That would be quite important

I think dcro's soul is well and truly nailed to the equine community.... even still, always room for a bit of darts on the side in between pirouettes

Forget it, the way Horvat is playing it looks like he specifically doesn't want any Croatians to get interested 

 

Choking here, choking there, choking everywhere.

Yeah, that is correct. Though that's like having "bro" as a nickname in English, a bit unusual.

 

Btw, is he any good?

Thanks  

 

And no Sir, he is not 

 

Spoiler

Alright, to be fair, he is apparently a decent player in the German Super League, but today...nah. It's like a downhill skier who goes down in a slalom-fashion, or a horse that does a piaffe instead of a pirouette.

Horvat wins 

 

Simon Whitlock is going to have such an easy night..
