Does anyone know where Wednesday's match is being shown? I'm pretty sure it's not on Sky Sports or ESPN. I read somewhere that it'll only be available online via PPV. Sounds a bit strange for a World Cup Qualifying game.
(Not that I'm seriously wanting to watch it! I'd be perfectly happy listening to it on the radio but I'll have little nieces and nephews over on Wednesday who'll want to watch it live.)

It's an 8pm Kick Off and is live on ITV 1.
I find this webpage very helpful for all fixtures, kick off times and TV Channels Live Football on TV - Sport on Television - Live Football on TV

The rights are being sold by Kentaro an agency like Sportfive who sell the games on behalf of the foreign FA.
They have instructed Perform to sell the game online PPV as they have only had one bid (from the BBC which was then withdrawn) for the game which wasn't acceptable.
'Traditonal' broadcasters may get more interested but no one is going to move on it until after Wednesday's game. The rights value will of course be affected by whether anything rests on the Ukraine game.
The FA have even had to issue a statement on it. TheFA.com - FA Statement
EDIT Guardian also reporting it http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...e-pay-per-view

Starting to get a bit out of hand for me all this business with England away games. I already subscirbe to Sky Sports & EPSN, absolutely no way I'm paying £3.99 to see an England match streamed online certainly not with my dodgy connection.
The FA and others have to start getting realistic about what they can get for these games, nobody's going to match what Setanta paid because Setanta went bust

Let's see what happens Kentaro and all the other players involved all know that come Thursday they can really get down to negotiating.

It's a classic case of everyone thinking it's treasure island here. You say the FA can't do something, well if countries want to play these games I'd not sell them the rights to the home games here simples.
This has got out of hand, hopefully the government will get of their backside and sort this mess out and not just for England matches, I think all home nations should be entitled to view these matches home and away, it's all wrong.

EDIT Guardian also reporting it England qualifier in Ukraine could be first to be screened on pay-per-view online basis | Football | The Guardian | I think that's what I misread as being this Wednesday's game. Hopefully, nothing will rest on it by then, noone will watch it streamed and somebody will get the message that it isn't on!

Also they'd (I'd assume) have to breach or wait out their contract with their own agency (always used to be Octagon CSI).

And what do you honestly think the Government can do?
