Is this the first time an England match has been on Sky?

    No, quite a few years ago, England away qualifying group matches were on Sky. I emailed the FA about it at the time.

    Don't worry, it was a total non-event.
    The sort of thing that you didn't know was on, probably cos it wasn't on ITV, and if you did know about it then it certainly wasn't worth the effort.
    Not exactly headline news this morning is it.

    It’s to make international friendlies more competitive so nations take them more seriously. Early league group games were played last year. I think the top teams from each group then play a semi and final. the winners get some cash, it was originally said they wouldn’t have to qualify for the euro finals but think they still do, not sure
