England's footballers were ecstatic after their thrilling 3-2 victory over Mexico in the World Cup Round of 16. And for good reason. They had triumphed in a monumental battle under incredibly challenging conditions. They had to contend with fervent home support from the stands, the high altitude, and an aggressive opponent, all while playing with ten men for a significant portion of the second half.
Immediately after the final whistle, they headed to the section where their supporters were gathered, as the stadium's sound system blared Oasis's massive hit, "Wonderwall." The song has become an anthem for the England national team at the 2026 World Cup. The players joined in, singing along with the fans, creating an incredibly emotional moment.
In his post-match interview, Harry Kane had to explain that he had lost his voice from singing, which made speaking difficult. This prompted Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher to playfully tease him. "Singing's a tough gig, Harry Kane. Come on England, come on England. Wonderwall," the musician tweeted.
Meanwhile, back in the BBC studio – the broadcaster covering the match for the UK – there was also singing and dancing. Television pundits Joe Hart, Micah Richards, and Wayne Rooney all joined in the celebrations.
