LONDON — England’s emphatic World Cup victory over Croatia has given fans more than three points to celebrate — it may also have handed the Three Lions a brand-new anthem.

Moments after England’s entertaining 4-2 win in Dallas on Wednesday, thousands of supporters stayed behind to belt out Oasis’ 1995 classic Wonderwall, creating one of the tournament’s standout scenes so far.

The emotional singalong quickly went viral after BBC Sport shared footage showing England stars including Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Anthony Gordon appearing visibly moved as they applauded supporters and joined in with the chorus.

The clip even caught the attention of Oasis themselves, with both the band’s official social media accounts and Liam Gallagher reposting the footage.

Now, the post-match moment has snowballed into something much bigger, with UK’s The Sun throwing its weight behind calls for Wonderwall to become England’s official anthem for the rest of the Fifa World Cup.

The campaign has already attracted support from former England captain Terry Butcher, the England Supporters Band and even the UK’s ambassador to the United States.

“Our biggest problem is that we don’t know Wonderwall — but don’t worry, we’re busy learning it for the next game and it’s going to be fantastic,” Hemmingham added.
