It's fair to say that when it comes to the beautiful game, there's more than just skill and strategy involved. You need heart, passion, and a dose of good old-fashioned swagger – qualities embodied by England fans as they sing along to 'Wonderwall' after every World Cup match. And now, Liam Gallagher has thrown his weight behind this growing tradition, urging everyone to keep the "biblical vibrations" going!
The impromptu singalongs first burst onto the scene following England's electrifying 4-2 win over Croatia in their opening group stage fixture – a result that sparked a chain reaction of post-match celebrations across the globe. Since then, 'Wonderwall' has become an integral part of the team's celebratory ritual, with fans and players alike joining in for a rousing rendition.
After England's thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over DR Congo, secured by Harry Kane's stunning brace, Liam Gallagher took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his support. "Let's keep the biblical vibrations going if the governments we put in power can't bring it then it's down to the people c'mon England," he posted, before later adding: "The country needs good vibrations until the mighty O (Oasis) comes back, life is meant to be good not shit."
The squad themselves have lapped up this new tradition, lining up in front of their adoring fans after each victory to join in the collective sing-along. Written by Liam's brother Noel, 'Wonderwall' was a chart-topper when it first burst onto the scene in 1995 and remains one of Oasis's most beloved anthems worldwide – a familiar sound at Manchester City's home games, which both Gallagher brothers hold dear.
Now, England's attention turns to their next challenge: a last-16 clash with Mexico at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Scheduled for 1am BST on Monday, 6th July, this is a match that holds significant history – and Liam Gallagher is predicting a resounding 5-0 victory for England, reflecting the buoyant mood surrounding their World Cup campaign.
