No - BBC have exclusive rights to the home games.

The away games are sold seperately by the country's football associations.

I wouldn't be surprised at the price Sky paid, and I did see them trail the games on Sky Sports News today ...

And I think a 'guest clause' has been added, which says no other broadcaster can show the game 'as live' straight after the final whistle.

John Motson, said the BBC would only be showing highlights of the game later in the evening of the 11th.

Thank god sky have it live and exclusive. I can't bear to watch another match with the BBC as the only outlet. During the Macedonia game Motson spent most of it droaning on about what was going in the crowd, rather than on the pitch...

Well bearing in mind the racist chanting, I'm not surprised ...

Much as I love Sky's football coverage, I much prefer watching the internationals on BBC1

Well, actually, I prefer going to the games ... hehe ... Which brings me on to nicely how fun it was to go to Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
