Luke Littler lost the World Darts Championship for England: what the player is accused of.

Michael Smith: “Luke Littler ruined England's chances of winning the World Championship”

According to The Sun: The England team, represented by Luke Humphries and Luke Littler, was counting on victory at the World Darts Championship. However, this team was defeated in their first match against the hosts - Germany. This was a major disappointment.

“The way I speak might look bad for the other two players, so I'm trying to rephrase it before expressing it. I had no ego on stage. I was the second-best in the world at that moment and just became the first.”

Michael Smith, who also represented England at the World Championship, explained where exactly the mistake was, blaming Littler’s “ego”. He noted that he condemned his ego and acted as a team with Humphries against all the other players.

He added that this was what caused England's poor performance. Welsh star Gerwyn Price agreed with him, pointing out the lack of team spirit among the English players.
