The Oasis classic “Wonderwall” is enjoying a new lease of life at this year's World Cup.
After a 4-2 win over Croatia on Wednesday in Arlington, Texas, England fans serenaded their team with a version of the 1995 hit as the song was played over the AT&T Stadium's speakers.
Footage showed England stars including Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham soaking up the rousing rendition of the Manchester band's most popular number, with some of the players joining in.
Some pop songs have been universally embraced by soccer fans, so it's not a stretch for the Gallagher brothers' singalong to be added to the sport's songbook.
Supporters from a number of countries at the tournament have been belting out Gala's 1995 Eurodance tune “Freed From Desire” — especially the “na na na na na naaaa na na naaaaa na na na” chorus.
A chant based around the guitar line from The White Stripes' “Seven Nation Army” is another favorite likely to ring out across the three host nations into July.
The “Wonderwall” reprise comes as the Britpop band have enjoyed a renaissance as result of a successful reunion tour in 2025.
Watch here as the moment was captured by Fox Sports.
