Cover image via Germany Football Team - Die Mannschaft (edited)There's one week left 'til the 2018 FIFA World Cup officially kicks off, but the German football team is already winning the social media game among their Malaysian fans
In the past week or so, the defending champions' Facebook page has been posting updates in Malay in the days leading up to the World Cup
The posts came as a pleasant surprise to the team's Malaysian fans, with many praising the page's admin – some of whom think might be Malaysian – for their proficiency in the language
Though most of its posts are still written in English, the page has been pretty great at engaging the team's local fans with the geo-targetted posts:
That's Toni Kroos, in case you're wondering. :p
They're also prepping fans to cheer on the team in the upcoming World Cup with mini German lessons!
This poetic birthday wish for Marco Reus is the very definition of mencuit hati
The page's admin is pretty active in the comments section too
Who says Germans* don't have a sense of humour? :p
* Okay they may not be German, but we pretend la ok.
Cheeky. \insert smirking emoji here\
