Brothers Liam and Neol Gallagher, from Oasis Divulgação/Disney Music that shaped England's trajectory in the 2026 World Cup, "Wonderwall", by Oasis, became the most listened to song in the world, according to the streaming platform Spotify. The song, released in 1995 on the album “(What's the Story) Morning Glory?” became a reason for unity between players and fans after the match against Croatia, in the first phase of the competition. After the 4-2 victory, the stadium's DJ started playing the English band's song and the players went to the fans to sing together. Even with the 2-1 defeat to Argentina this Wednesday (15), in the semi-final stage of the competition, the song reached the top of streaming.

"It was one of my favorite moments wearing the England shirt in a major tournament. I know it was only the first game and we can't get carried away, but the emotional connection we had with the fans... We know how much it means to them. We are connected with them, but in that moment, singing 'Wonderwall' in the stadium... Everyone knew it was a very special moment," Harry Kane said in a post-match interview. The moment then became a ritual after England's World Cup games. Manchester City fans, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have a close relationship with football. Liam even cursed a Brazilian user of X (formerly Twitter) who criticized the use of "Wonderwall" by the English. "Imagine being the country of the Beatles, Queen and Rolling Stones, but choosing an Oasis song as the theme of the English team's trajectory in the World Cup", wrote the Brazilian. In response, Liam cursed the Brazilian user of spunkbubble, English slang for useless. "Just imagine that this has nothing to do with you, you useless bastard."
