    It comes after fans of the national team sang along to the classic 1995 single following their 4-2 victory over Croatia last week, with England looking out from the pitch with a sense of awe.

    The emotional moment saw players like Harry Kane express gratitude to the crowd, while others like Jude Bellingham and Anthony Gordon mouthed along to the lyrics.

    During a new interview with The Sun, songwriter, guitarist and football fan Noel Gallagher also backed calls to make ‘Wonderwall’ England’s World Cup anthem, saying: “‘Wonderwall’ belongs to the people, and it was a magical moment between the people and the players,” he told the newspaper of the singalong at England’s previous match.

    “Best of luck to everyone who’s made the trip out there.”

    Now, Noel’s brother Liam has responded after Spotify shared that streams of ‘Wonderwall’ had shot up on the platform since the moment.

    In a statement, they wrote: “Ahead of England’s upcoming clash against Ghana, fresh data from Spotify reveals that ‘Wonderwall’ by Oasis has emerged as the country’s unofficial tournament anthem. This follows scenes that went viral of England players and fans belting out the anthem in unison at the World Cup.

    “Spotify can reveal that the 1995 classic has experienced a resurgence, with a spike in listening of 50% in the UK – a huge lift considering the existing streams and fanbase for such an iconic and enduring song.”

    Responding, Liam wrote on X: “And rightly so it’s a fucking classic and I sound BIBLICAL on it.”
