Harry Kane hopes ‘Wonderwall’ can become the soundtrack of the summer as England plot a way to World Cup glory.
Thomas Tuchel’s side got off to a great start with a 4-2 win over Croatia in their opening Group L game in Dallas on Wednesday, during which Kane scored twice to equal Gary Lineker’s record of ten World Cup goals.
England’s victorious players celebrated in front of their fans while Oasis hit Wonderwall blared around the AT&T Stadium.
Skipper Kane, who appeared emotional during the singalong, wants fans to keep rolling with it.
‘That was one of my favourite ever moments in an England shirt and especially at a major tournament,’ he told the Lions’ Den podcast.
‘I know it’s just the first game, and we’re not getting carried away, but just that emotional connection with the fans, we know how much it means to them.
‘I think they see how much it means to us.
‘We have that connection right now, but just that moment, singing Wonderwall in the stadium, everyone knew the words, and that was a really special moment.’

Kane added: ‘We know back home is the same.
‘We know there would be plenty of beer getting thrown around, with it being a night game, so we love that stuff.’
Another anthem much-loved by England fans is Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline, which proved popular during the team’s run to the 2020 Euros final.
Manager Tuchel has spoken about creating a squad ‘brotherhood’, building on the work Sir Gareth Southgate started at the 2018 World Cup, where England reconnected with supporters after a decade of dismal tournaments.
