“I told you”: Liam Gallagher nearly predicted the England Mexico result – as Wonderwall once again soundtracks Three Lions win
Oasis, Sunday roasts, a cuppa tea… these are but a few staples of the quintessential British experience. With that in mind, it only makes sense that this year’s World Cup has seen the England team celebrating their wins to the sound of Oasis’ Wonderwall – and Liam Gallagher is pretty chuffed about it.
The Three Lions team most recently kicked off a full stadium singalong to Wonderwall following their 3-2 win against Mexico on 6 July, earning them a ticket to the quarter-finals. The celebration was so fierce that it left team captain Harry Kane with a sore throat from singing along too enthusiastically. In a post-match interview with the BBC, Kane apologised to presenter Kelly Somers for his (hilariously) rough voice, explaining: “My voice is gone!”

As the interview cut back to the BBC team all laughing at Kane’s hoarse voice, Liam Gallagher was quick to hop onto X. “It’s hard work that singing, Harry Kane,” he wrote. “C’mon ENGLAND! C’mon WONDERWALL!”

The final was also nearly predicted by the Oasis star earlier in the day. While he didn’t quite land the Mexico score, he guessed that England would win with three goals. When a fan pointed it out, Liam simply replied with a smug: “I told you”. Liam was also responding to saddened Mexico fans in his typical sarcastic fashion, joking simply ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’.

Another X user insisted that it was “mandatory” to have Oasis flown out if England manage to reach the World Cup final to perform Wonderwall live. “We’ll see… I’m ready,” he wrote.
The Wonderwall singalong also saw a more serious injury on the team; footballer Jordan Henderson attempted to hop over a short wall mid-celebration, unfortunately leading to an injured his wrist – the half wall was the opposite of a “wonderwall”, we suppose.
“He injured his wrist,” England coach Thomas Tuchel told reporters [via NBC news]. “He’s at the moment in the hospital, so it’s a quite serious injury. And it just doesn’t fit to the evening that Jordan is now not with us. I don’t know the procedure, what’s going on. I just did the press, and the doctor told me that he’s in hospital.”
While Liam is clearly loving the England team’s celebration anthem being Wonderwall, his brother, Noel Gallagher, has also been in favour of Wonderwall being England’s unofficial 2026 World Cup anthem. Following the England team’s win 4-2 win against Croatia back in June, Noel told The Sun: “Wonderwall belongs to the people, and it was a magical moment between the people and the players… Best of luck to everyone who’s made the trip out there.”
England are set to play against Norway this Saturday (11 July). If a win is on the cards, we’ll have to see if Wonderwall makes yet another appearance.
