Darts star celebrates 180 before embarrassingly realising he's bust at World Cup

Jose de Sousa proved old habits die hard as his latest miscount came in the form of bust 181 on Saturday night.

The Portuguese star has developed a reputation for his poor counting over the years, but it reached new heights as he messed up 181. It proved to be tremendously embarrassing for the 48-year-old, who made the error during Portugal’s match against Scotland in the World Cup of Darts.

Their second round clash went to a doubles game after John Henderson had defeated Vitor Jeronimo and De Sousa had surprisingly topped Peter Wright in the singles match 4-3. It was a high-quality contest and served to prolong the World Cup drama.
