sky has had exclivsive away rights for a few years, its ashame as i personally think all england games should be free to air
England look much better than how they started against bulgaria
Although Defoe is looking like he is injured dont think he will make the second half
The Home England Internationals, are on FTA, as The FA holds the rights, & the Home England games, where made part of the Crown Jewel Sports a few years ago, so can't be exclusive to Pay TV. The Away Internationals, the Host FA/Federation has the TV rights, so will sell the rights to the highest bidder, & are not on the Crown Jewel list.
Sounds like Walcott's injury could be bad, off to hospital for x rays on his ankle apparently.
England are looking very comfortable though, dangerous down both flanks. Rooney is playing deep again but doesn't seem to be quite as deep as against Bulgaria. Barry and Gerrard combining well in midfield as well.
But wait! The Swiss have a free kick in a dangerous position!

i thought sky signed a deal a few years ago for the exclisive rights for away matches
ive been reading on another thread in the broadcasting forum & people are discussing why theres no highlights & its cause the bbc & itv arent willing to pay what sky want for the right to highlights??
Barry and Gerrard both seem reluctant to get forward much, could be deliberate to stay solid in midfield and use the wide players to support attacks instead.

"Football match on Sky Sports - SHOCKER!!"
1988 called and wants it's surprise back.
how did i know you'd comment!!!!
internationals are normally shown on terrestial channels so sorry for being shocked!!!!
we arent all rich & can afford to pay for sky sports at the price virgin charges for them
The FA has nothing to do with the TV rights to this game, as it's Away. It's the Swiss Federation that holds the TV rights, to the game

Low-rent psychic?
Not at all. Sky have been showing England championship qualifiers for at least twelve years.
Then don't?

this post has made up for missing the game

that fair enough thats their right but what harm would it do them to let itv or bbc show the highlights off the match??
It isn't theirs to give.
Think that was Setanta UK, who went bust. SKY must have picked up the remainder of the Contract.

Seems to be working fairly well anyway!
Get a job and you'll be able to afford Sky Sports....
