Liam Gallagher roasts Harry Kane after England World Cup hero loses voice singing Wonderwall

Oasis singer Liam Gallagher teased England captain Harry Kane after the striker lost his voice following the team’s sensational victory against Mexico at the World Cup.

The Three Lions beat the co-hosts 3-2 in a thrilling game that kept many fans in the country up in the early hours of Monday morning, with the kick-off delayed an hour to 2am.

Following the victory, England fans erupted into a rendition of Oasis’ 1995 hit Wonderwall at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City – with the men’s team joining in for the singalong.

Kane later appeared to have lost his voice as he struggled to speak in an interview with BBC Sport.

Oasis singer Liam Gallagher said on X: “It’s hard work that singing Harry Kane cmon ENGLAND cmon WONDERWALL.”

Gallagher then sent England fans into a frenzy, suggesting he is “ready” to perform at the 2026 World Cup final if the Three Lions go all the way.

One fan said to him on X: "[If] we do hit the final you know it's mandatory you fly out there and sing Wonderwall live on the pitch."

Gallagher replied: "We’ll see I’m ready".

Over the course of the 2026 World Cup, Wonderwall has become an unofficial anthem with the men’s team lining up to sing it back to fans.

Sir David Beckham, Chicken Shop Date star Amelia Dimoldenberg and TV personality Jamie Laing also joined in on the celebrations and showed their support for the men’s national team online.

Sir David posted a string of Instagram stories and said: “Now that’s a performance wow. There was no other way of winning this game other than that. Absolutely brilliant.”

He also praised the “brilliant” England manager, Thomas Tuchel, and goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, who said his performance was “absolutely nothing other than perfection”.

“Huge team performance. A night to be proud of each and everyone of the squad,” he said.

Dimoldenberg said she “can’t cope” in a video shared online with the caption “we did it!”

Meanwhile former Made In Chelsea star, Laing, said: “It’s coming home baby!”

EastEnders actor Ross Kemp also posted a video on his Instagram account and said: “That is without a doubt the best England performance I think I’ve ever seen.

“That is without a doubt true English spirit.”
