Watch: Ireland should be afraid, very afraid; Lewandowski and Muller are in lethal form

Calm down, lads.

The Republic of Ireland face two era defining fixtures over the next week, and two players in the form of their lives. First up is Germany and Thomas Muller on Thursday. The Bayern Munich forward scored twice today as his side defeated Borussia Dortmund 5-1 at the Allianz Arena. The 26 year old opened the scoring with this effort, and doubled the lead from the penalty spot. So expect Muller to be confident of adding to his recent goal tally against John O'Shea and co this Thursday. Next Sunday Ireland face Poland in Warsaw, and you'll be unhappy to know that their main man is also in incredible form. Robert Lewandowski also scored twice for Munich today. He now has 12 goals in his last four games. The Polish striker is definitely in the form of his life. https://twitter.com/BreatheSport/status/650715031047393280 https://twitter.com/TSBible/status/650346069914611712 https://twitter.com/BundeSabeh_/status/650719449868165120 https://twitter.com/FCBayernEN/status/650792566523203584 There is some good news though. Poland face Scotland on Thursday, and a Polish win will guarantee Ireland a play-off spot. One more great game Robert, then take it easy against Ireland next week. You deserve the break.
