Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has playfully mocked England captain Harry Kane after the striker lost his voice during post-match celebrations following the Three Lions' 3-2 victory over Mexico at the World Cup. The match, which kicked off at 2am local time on Monday, saw England fans at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City erupt into a rendition of Oasis's 1995 hit 'Wonderwall', with the entire squad joining in the singalong.
Kane, who appeared hoarse in a subsequent interview with BBC Sport, struggled to speak clearly. Gallagher took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment: "It's hard work that singing Harry Kane cmon ENGLAND cmon WONDERWALL." The singer's remark quickly went viral, drawing further attention to the team's spirited celebrations.
Gallagher Hints at 2026 World Cup Final Performance
In a separate exchange, Gallagher responded to a fan who suggested he should perform 'Wonderwall' live at the 2026 World Cup final if England reach that stage. The fan wrote: "[If] we do hit the final you know it's mandatory you fly out there and sing Wonderwall live on the pitch." Gallagher replied: "We'll see I'm ready." The song has become an unofficial anthem for the England team throughout the tournament, with players lining up to sing it back to fans after matches.
Celebrity Reactions and Praise for England's Performance
Several celebrities joined in the online celebrations. Sir David Beckham posted a series of Instagram stories, writing: "Now that's a performance wow. There was no other way of winning this game other than that. Absolutely brilliant." He also praised England manager Thomas Tuchel and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, describing Pickford's performance as "absolutely nothing other than perfection" and calling the match "a night to be proud of each and everyone of the squad."
Chicken Shop Date star Amelia Dimoldenberg shared a video with the caption "we did it!" and said she "can't cope." Former Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing posted: "It's coming home baby!" EastEnders actor Ross Kemp also added a video on Instagram, stating: "That is without a doubt the best England performance I think I've ever seen. That is without a doubt true English spirit."
