Liam Gallagher, the iconic figure of Oasis, playfully teased Harry Kane, the captain of the national team. Gallagher jokingly remarked on Kane’s singing efforts after the footballer strained his voice celebrating England’s tense 3-2 win against Mexico at the World Cup.
The thrilling match against Mexico, which saw England triumph in a close 3-2 encounter, captivated fans nationwide who stayed glued to their screens into the early hours of Monday morning due to the delayed kick-off at 2 am.
Following the victory, jubilant England supporters at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City broke into a spirited rendition of Wonderwall, with the players themselves enthusiastically joining the impromptu singalong.
Subsequently, Kane struggled to speak coherently during an interview with BBC Sport, indicating that he had strained his voice during the celebratory singing.
Gallagher took to Twitter to comment, noting the effort required in singing, and encouraged England with the hashtags “Harry Kane come on ENGLAND come on WONDERWALL.” Throughout the 2026 World Cup, the band’s 1995 hit, “Wonderwall,” has become an unofficial anthem, with the team enthusiastically singing it to their devoted fans.
Notable figures like Sir David Beckham, presenter Amelia Dimoldenberg of Chicken Shop Date, and TV personality Jamie Laing joined the celebrations, expressing their support for the national team on social media.
Sir David praised the exceptional performance, particularly highlighting the outstanding contributions of England’s manager Thomas Tuchel and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, whom he commended for their flawless display. He lauded the team’s collective effort, expressing pride in every squad member.
Dimoldenberg, overwhelmed by the win, shared a video online captioned “we did it!” while Laing joyfully exclaimed, “It’s coming home baby!”
Actor Ross Kemp from EastEnders also joined the jubilation on Instagram, declaring it as one of the best England performances he had witnessed, praising the true English spirit displayed.
Celebrities like Rita Ora and Lewis Capaldi watched the intense match together at a London pub, with Ora sharing moments of their excitement on Instagram, cheering for Jude Bellingham and enthusiastically chanting “it’s coming home” in celebration of England’s dominant win.
