I can't even pull the highlights down this morning from anywhere either, obviously the little trolls in the legal department have been buzy all night making sure fans continue to get screwed.

What ticks me off as a Setanta US subscriber is I pay $15 a month and then have to pay 25 extra for the England matches.

And frankly I feel like most of my 15 a month is going to egg chasing, as the better matches are on FSC.

anyway. I'll be at work Wednesday, and will have some justintv stream on in my office.

I know why they did it but its wrong. Over here, I 'may have' P2Pd the game.. It was garbage, had any fan paid 25 dollars for it they wouldnt have got any value for it. Croatia has more to it but on a Wednesday afternoon its a pain to see as most of us at work. Setanta are a pain and should have given up highlights much faster. I know why they did it but its wrong.

If England ever qualify for a major tournament again, no-one will know how they did it at this rate. Yes, it was quite a frustrating experience for Brits like me who aren't subscribed to Setanta.
