Liam Gallagher teases Harry Kane after England captain loses his voice
England captain Harry Kane has been playfully mocked by Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher after losing his voice during the Three Lions' 3-2 victory over Mexico at the World Cup. The national side defeated Mexico in a thrilling encounter at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City in the early hours of Monday morning, with kick-off pushed back by an hour to 2am.
After the triumph, supporters broke into a rousing chorus of Wonderwall, with the squad enthusiastically participating in the sing-along. Kane subsequently appeared to have strained his vocal cords as he found it difficult to speak during a post-match interview. The 32-year-old could barely manage words, saying "It was a crazy game we had to fight and we had to find something. But he occasion the team everything against us we found a way."
Liam Gallagher was quick to tease the England captain on social media. The 53-year-old Oasis frontman wrote: "It's hard work that singing Harry Kane cmon ENGLAND cmon WONDERWALL". He later added "Oh I'll show Harry how it's done" in another tweet, and hinted that he may fly out to New Jersey's MetLife Stadium if England reach the final scheduled for July 19.
Throughout the 2026 World Cup, Oasis's iconic 1995 anthem has emerged as an unofficial rallying cry with the national side regularly performing it alongside supporters. Other celebrities also celebrated the victory, including Sir David Beckham, who praised the performance as "Absolutely brilliant", Chicken Shop Date presenter Amelia Dimoldenberg, and television personality Jamie Laing, who exclaimed "It's coming home baby".
EastEnders actor Ross Kemp declared it "the best England performance I think I've ever seen". Manager Thomas Tuchel and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford also received widespread praise for their contributions to the victory. England will now face Norway in the quarter-finals on Saturday, where Kane and striker Erling Haaland will go head-to-head.
