One of the most memorable moments of the 2026 FIFA World Cup so far unfolded at AT&T Stadium on Wednesday night, as thousands of England supporters belted out Oasis's anthem Wonderwall while the players watched on, visibly moved.
England kicked off their Group L campaign with a thrilling 4-2 win over Croatia, with Harry Kane scoring twice (including a penalty), Jude Bellingham adding another, and Marcus Rashford sealing the victory late on. But it was the post-match atmosphere that stole the headlines.
As the final whistle blew, the stadium, dominated by England fans who vastly outnumbered their Croatian counterparts, erupted into a unified rendition of the Manchester band’s classic. The England squad, still on the pitch, paused to soak it in. Many players joined in the singing, arms raised, with Bellingham among those caught on camera enthusiastically participating.
Videos circulating on social media captured the full-throated chorus echoing around the 80,000-capacity venue, creating goosebump-inducing scenes that quickly went viral. Fans had already been in strong voice pre-match and at fan zones like Texas Live, but the post-win sing-along felt like a defining World Cup moment.
