England v Ukraine to be shown online only?

The Guardian are reporting this morning that the next qualifier for England against the Ukraine could be exclusively be shown online, on a pay per view basis. Since the collapse of Setanta, who had the rights to the game, it is reported that they have been unable to find a new buyer to show the game live, and that they are seeking a new deal with online newspapers to show the game through their websites.

Meanwhile there’s a whole host of ways for you to place your bets on England’s hope for the World Cup. Paddy Power are offering a number of betting opportunities including:

11/4 England to be knocked out in the Quarter Finals – again!
6/1 England to lose in a penalty shootout – again!
6/4 Michael Owen is picked for the World Cup squad
8/15 Beckham odds on to make it to his fourth World Cup
6/4 Manchester United favourites to have most players in the England squad
4/1 Peter Kay favourite to record the England World Cup song

Pop along to Paddy Power if any of those takes your fancy.

      Absolutely disgusting that only people who pay can watch the england team perform!
      Apparently the Odeon chain will show it but only in 11 cinemas across the country.
      I live in Notts, so to see it i have to pay up to 11.99 and go to Derby,Lincoln, Sheffield or birmingham !!!
      I dont think so !

    Got something to say?
