Liam Gallagher is calling on England fans to keep the party going – literally! – with a rousing plea for them to maintain those "biblical vibes" by belting out Oasis's iconic anthem 'Wonderwall' at the top of their lungs. The former rock god took to X (formerly Twitter) after England's stunning 2-1 victory over DR Congo on Wednesday night, saying, "If our governments can't bring it, then it's down to you lot – let's do this, England!" He later added a cheeky postscript: "Cmon England cmon Wonderwall" – and judging by the song's continued popularity among fans, he might just get his wish!
Gallagher's passionate plea follows the team's dramatic comeback, with captain Harry Kane securing a late win after England initially fell behind. And it seems 'Wonderwall' has become an unlikely soundtrack to their success: reports suggest that players Jude Bellingham and Anthony Gordon were singing along to the song after their previous 4-2 thrashing of Croatia.
Not one to shy away from making bold predictions, Gallagher declared that Mexico was "gonna get smashed" in their upcoming match – and he wasn't afraid to put a number on it, suggesting England would run out 3-0 winners. But Fher Olvera, the frontman of Mexican rock band Maná, took umbrage with Liam's confidence, firing back on Instagram: "5-0? Calm down, dude! We'll see how it goes on Sunday."
But despite the online jibes, Gallagher later tried to dial down the rhetoric, urging fans to take a deep breath and remember that it's just a game of football – not a fight. And in a sly dig at the persistent Oasis reunion rumours, he playfully threatened: "If you lot win, I'll never speak to you again... and you can forget about the Oasis concerts."
The enduring appeal of 'Wonderwall' is undeniable: it's become an unofficial anthem for British football fans, symbolising national pride and collective hope. And with each match drawing in record-breaking viewership on platforms like the BBC and ITV, it's clear that England's World Cup journey has captured the nation's imagination.
With Mexico waiting in the wings, one thing is certain: the anticipation for Sunday's showdown is palpable – and fans will be hoping Gallagher's "biblical vibes" bring them luck as they take on their next opponent. Will he get his wish? Only time (and the referee's whistle) will tell.
