Apparently due to public demand the England World Cup Song 'Sing It For England' is going to be re-released for 2010. The song was originally a contender for the 2006 World Cup but didn't make it, but it is meant to be back this time with a few as yet undisclosed 'star guests' helping out..... Quite catchy - just your average group of British builders having a sing-song in the street while they're hard at work - class!!
The England World Cup Qualifier against Ukraine is to be screened exclusively live on the internet for the first time ever. The rights to the match - away at Ukraine - were originally sold to Setanta who of course have since collapsed and are no more - as a result of this the international football agency Kentaro tried unsuccessfully to re-sell the match rights to the other big broadcasters i.e. BBC, ITV and Five... After failing to reach an agreement the broadcast rights have now been sold to media group Perform who are streaming the match LIVE as a pay per view event. Apparently the cost for the event is £4.99 if viewers 'sign up early' and Perform say they are going to limit subscribers to one million.....
England have already qualified for the World Cup after winning all 8 of their group matches, perhaps why no agreement was made to sell to the more traditional broadcasters but it still wont be the same as watching it on the tv or down the pub....Cum On Eng-er-land!!!
