    The classic 1995 Oasis track has become the unofficial soundtrack for the England team at the World Cup this year, with Harry Kane and co. coming together at the end of their recent matches to sing it with fans in the crowd.

    Already, they have belted along to the hit after victories against Croatia, Panama and DR Congo, and recently made headlines after their 3-2 win over Mexico – where Kane sang so loudly with fans that he briefly lost his voice. The Mexico celebrations also saw Jordan Henderson injure his wrist in a freak accident while running to join in the singalong.

    Noel Gallagher quickly threw his support behind the track becoming England’s 2026 World Cup anthem, saying the song “belongs to the people”. He also admitted that he “couldn’t believe” that Jude Bellingham really knew the lyrics.

    Liam also reacted to the news that ‘Wonderwall’ had seen a 50 per cent spike in streams on Spotify in the UK thanks to the World Cup, and has now said that he’s prepared to fly out to New York stadium and sing the song live if England makes it to the final.

    After one fan reached out and said that it was “mandatory” that the singer “fly out there and sing ‘Wonderwall’ live on the pitch” if Thomas Tuchel’s side make it all the way, Liam gave a reply suggesting that he was already thinking along the same lines: “We’ll see, I’m ready.”

    Liam has a reputation for sparking rumours on X/Twitter – previously hinting at an Oasis reunion well before they officially reformed in 2024 and embarked on the massive ‘Live ‘25’ tour, as well as spreading rumours of 2027 tour dates, and claiming that he and Noel were writing a new Oasis album.

    Over past few days, the frontman has been sharing other hints about wanting to play ‘Wonderwall’ live at the final – quipping after the England captain lost his voice: “It’s hard work that singing Harry Kane cmon ENGLAND cmon ‘WONDERWALL’” and also jokingly promising to “show Harry how it’s done”.

     

     

    Before the Mexico game, midfielder Declan Rice looked back on the ‘Wonderwall’ singalong at England’s first match and said that it felt like they “were just connecting with the fans” in the moment.

    Kane also described the moment of singing to the song after a victory as “one of my favourite ever moments in an England shirt, especially at a major tournament.”
