Everyone stay calm.
Belgium mean business and, ahead of their jaunt across to France, Marc Wilmots is not taking a friendly game with Switzerland lightly.
Romelu Lukaku leads the line for the Red Devils in their clash on Saturday afternoon and he heads up a side that looks on paper, at least, every bit as strong as the hype.
And it has made the meeting in Bordeaux on June 18 all the more nervy for Irish folk.
Ireland warmed up in their final game at the Aviva with a 1-1 draw with Holland on Friday night but if Martin O’Neill is looking on at Switzerland this weekend, he might sit up at the strength of the Belgian line-up.
There’s a reason why they’re ranked number two in the world after all. Well, a little bit of justification for it at least.
Take a loot at this side.
The Belgium first XI is that attacking that lively Zenit midfielder, Axel Witsel, is being deployed at right back for the game with the Swiss.
The front six is ridiculously adventurous. Both Fellaini and Dembele have each played in more advanced roles with their clubs this season but with Mertens, Hazard, and De Bruyne all mouthwateringly making up the rest of the midfield, it might be left to the United and Spurs players to anchor their crazily solid team.
Decent options on the bench too.

Let’s beat Sweden, eh?
