Now everyone can see highlights of yesterday’s Croatia-England match as itv have stumped up “a low six-figure sum” for the highlights. itv had previously offered half a million pounds for highlights, but were rejected by Setanta. (source: Guardian)
This week has been an utter farce for international football coverage, with German stations showing both matches live and free-to-air, while English fans at home were being asked to pay an Irish broadcaster or go without. What are the FA playing at? Why is there no “national coverage” clause in their sale?

We should be paying the tv companies NOT to show the game if it means results like Wednesdays!
