Why does England sing 'Wonderwall' at World Cup? Oasis anthem explained

[ASFN Admin]

If you haven't watched an England game during this World Cup, you might be curious why the Oasis song "Wonderwall" has been shooting up the charts in recent weeks.

England players have taken to belting out the 1995 song with fans in the stadium after matches, with the renditions growing bigger as the tournament has gone on.

When it happened after England's opening win against Croatia, all-time leading scorer Harry Kane said that singing with the fans was one of his favorite moments in his career. It happened again after a roaring comeback against DR Congo in the round of 32. Then the song went to Mexico City for a thrilling round of 32 clash. And finally, in Miami for the quarterfinal win against Norway.

"Don't think you're English if you don't know the lyrics," midfielder Morgan Rogers told reporters. "It's such a known song, everyone has to know the lyrics of that. If not, you better learn them quick."
