Germany are scrambling to catch up with football rivals England as the 2012 European Championship approaches – on Facebook.
The national team’s official fan page has announced that more than one million people now “like” it.
It added: “In 2012 we should overtake the pole position of England.”
The England team’s Facebook page has more than 1.1 million “likes”.
But both national teams have plenty of ground to make up on club sides.
Germany’s most consistently successful club, Bayern Munich, have 2.6 million Facebook fans.
Premier League champions Manchester United have more than 21 million.
