New on Sports Illustrated: England vs. Poland Live Stream: Watch World Cup Qualifying Online, TV Channel, Time

How to watch England vs. Poland in World Cup Qualifying on Wednesday, March 31.

England will face its toughest test yet in World Cup qualifying against Poland on Wednesday. However, the Three Lions will not have to face the reigning Best FIFA Men's Player in Robert Lewandowski. 

With two goals on Sunday to give him 47 goals in 42 games in all competitions, the Bayern Munich star led Poland to its latest victory, a 3-0 win against Andorra. But Lewandowski was subbed off with a knee injury that was originally expected to keep him out for five to 10 days.

Not only will Lewandowski miss the England match, but the Ballon d'Or favorite

has since been ruled out for four weeks. This also sidelines him for Bayern's Bundesliga showdown with second-place RB Leipzig and both Champions League quarterfinals against PSG. 

How to Watch:

Time: 2:45 p.m. ET

TV Channel: ESPN2

Wednesday's match will feature the favorites in Group I. The group winner will qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar while the runner-up faces a new high-stakes, play-in tourney.   

So far, England has cruised in its first two qualifiers this week by earning six points from a 5-0 victory against San Marino and a 2-0 win in a trip to Albania. Manager Gareth Southgate will have to do without Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka or James Ward-Prowse for Wednesday's clash at Wembley. His defense won't have to deal with Lewandowski as it looks to jump out to a secure lead in the group.

Ranking the top 80 players in the 2021 NBA draft with the NCAA tournament in the rearview. View the original article to see embedded media. With three months until draft night and the NBA’s regular season winding down , the league at large has begun shifting full focus to the off-season. Players have until May 30 to declare as early entrants for the draft, after which point the predraft process will open up in full, leading up to the combine and lottery at the end of June . Our Big Board is long overdue for an update, and fully expanded out to 80 prospects as we all attempt to make sense of the big picture moving forward. As usual, the Big Board is primarily based on my personal evaluations from both live viewings and on film, in many cases dating back several years. The rankings also incorporate feedback and opinions I glean from NBA executives, scouts, and others around the industry. This is not a mock draft, and team fit is not considered, but it is also intended to be somewhat

New on Sports Illustrated: The Patriots’ Post-Brady Era Begins Now

In Mac Jones, Bill Belichick drafted a Round 1 quarterback for the first time ever—and looks to usher in a return to dominance. Of course the first time Bill Belichick drafts a first-round quarterback, it’s one for whom he could get an unvarnished scouting report from good buddy Nick Saban —and without even having to do any draft-day maneuvering. Now, the post-Tom Brady era in New England really begins. The Patriots treated 2020 as something of a gap year, with a league-high eight opt-outs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a starting quarterback, Cam Newton, who didn't sign with the team until June. They were, for the first time in two decades, mediocre, but that 7–9 record bought them the ticket to a fresh start: the No. 15 pick, which they used Thursday night on Alabama QB Mac Jones. The oft-cited statistic that Belichick had never drafted a QB higher than pick No. 62—used on Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014—was inherently flawed, given that Belichick had Brady as a starter for 19 of
