England football fans will only be able to watch Saturday's World Cup qualifier in Ukraine on the Internet, or selected cinemas, after discussions to broadcast it on television collapsed.
Failed sports channel Setanta had been due to broadcast the game, but following its demise other channels such as Sky, the BBC and ITV, do not want to pay the rights fee, mainly as England have already sealed their place in the finals in South Africa.
International sports rights agency Kentaro, who hold the rights to the game in Dnipro, have now opted to certify the game as a pay-per-view feed on the Worldwide Web.
Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson will provide specialist analysis during the match, which will also be available in some cinemas across Britain, but not other commercial outlets such as bars and restaurants.
