Liam Gallagher has reacted to yet another England World Cup win being soundtracked by ‘Wonderwall’ – as well as circling back to his near-perfect prediction of the Mexico score.
In the early hours this morning (July 6), Thomas Tuchel’s side secured their place in the quarter-finals after beating Mexico in a dramatic 3-2 victory. Festivities were damped, however, after Jordan Henderson sustained an injury during a celebratory ‘Wonderwall’ singalong.
It’s become a routine feature of England’s World Cup matches, and Liam previously told fans to “keep the biblical vibrations going” in a bid to see us through as the Oasis classic undergoes a massive resurgence thanks to the football.
Taking to X this morning, Gallagher wrote: “It’s hard work that singing Harry Kane cmon ENGLAND cmon WONDERWALL.”
As well as encourage England to sing along to the X hit, he’d shared his prediction of the score before the match, telling a Mexico fan that they were “gonna get smashed 3-0 Sunday”.
Revisiting his prediction this morning after a fan pointed out he was likely “well proud” it was nearly correct, he said: “I told you.”

England players Jude Bellingham and Anthony Gordon were seen mouthing the lyrics to Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’ following their 4-2 win over Croatia last month. Noel Gallagher later threw his support behind the tune becoming England’s 2026 World Cup anthem, saying the song “belongs to the people, and it was a magical moment between the people and the players”.
Liam Gallagher later reacted to the news that the 1995 single had seen a 50 per cent spike in streams on Spotify in the UK, ahead of England’s less impressive display against Ghana on June 23. “And rightly so it’s a fucking classic,” he tweeted, “and I sound BIBLICAL on it.”
During a recent interview, Noel said he “couldn’t believe” that the England team were singing ‘Wonderwall’ at the World Cup. “Do you know what, I thought it was a great moment,” he explained.
He reiterated that the track now “belongs to the people”, adding: “I’m staggered that Jude Bellingham knows the lyrics, but it’s one of those songs.”
Looking back on the ‘Wonderwall’ singalong at England’s first match, midfielder Declan Rice told The Sun: “On the pitch after the game and we were just connecting with the fans, and they were singing. That was special.
“Being in Dallas, singing ‘Wonderwall’. There’s nothing like that first time.”
Kane said: “That was one of my favourite ever moments in an England shirt, especially at a major tournament. It’s the emotional connection with the fans, we know how much it means to them.
“They see how much it means to us. We have that connection right now.”
England’s John Stones, who up until April played for Manchester City, created a playlist with Noel Gallagher in 2018. He revealed that Man City “always walk in” to his pick, ‘Wonderwall’.
Noel replied: “Would you not prefer ‘Rock And Roll Star’? ‘Wonderwall”s a bit ‘end of the night, my bird’s left me’ and all that kind of thing. It doesn’t strike me as something you play before the derby.”
‘Wonderwall’ – from Oasis’ second album ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ – reached Number Two on the official singles chart at the time of its release. The song has since become one of the biggest-selling tracks ever, despite never topping the charts.
In 2024, ‘Wonderwall’ became the most-streamed song from the 1970s to the 1990s. It was previously crowned the biggest-selling Britpop track of the ’90s. The single was, of course, on the setlist for Oasis’ massive Live ’25 reunion tour last year.
Noel was seen singing along to ‘Wonderwall’ as fans celebrated Manchester City retaining the Premier League title in 2019.
In other news, Noel Gallagher has explained why he won’t be watching the Chris Martin-curated World Cup Final halftime show, which will feature live performances from Madonna, Shakira and BTS.
