Ukraine v England to be broadcasted ONLINE ONLY!!

It is allowed in certain instances for sports that occur outside of this country (Wrestling and NFL for instance) but England games are not allowed to be completely owned through Sky via the law so why will they be allowed on PPV? Anybody that thinks they will be needs a head examination.

The EU's anti-monoploy law does not apply to England matches because there is no monoploy in the first place. Each country sells it's own home games, so these matches are exempt from the EU competition law.
