These Oasis tracks will produce stunning scenes when England takes the biggest stage.
England’s 4-2 win over Croatia in the group stage to open its FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign had a lot of memorable moments. The usual stars you’d expect to step up, like Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, did exactly that for Thomas Tuchel’s Three Lions and gave supporters plenty of reason to believe.
One of the standout moments came after the match when the players went over to thank their traveling fans. In the background, Oasis’ “Wonderwall” played as the crowd sang alongside the players in a truly English football moment.

While Oasis are known to be Manchester City fans, the World Cup and the Euros are perhaps the only times where City and United supporters come together to back their nation. Nothing would make those moments even more special than seeing England finally bring it home this year. And here are some of the Oasis tracks that we would love to hear alongside “Wonderwall.”
‘Supersonic’
There is no better Oasis song for the England squad to walk out to than “Supersonic.” The opening sound of the drums and when the riff enters, that is enough to get every supporter hyped up before the match even begins.
It would also be a fitting soundtrack to England’s aggressive and confident style of play. Seeing players like Declan Rice, Reece James, and Jordan Pickford walk out with that energy behind them would almost feel like a WWE-style entrance theme.
Of course, football does not have official song walkouts the way professional wrestling does, but imagining “Supersonic” playing as England steps onto the pitch is enough to create a legendary scene.
‘I Hope, I Think, I Know’
The World Cup is all about moments, and there is no better place for a player to introduce himself to the world.
Imagine someone outside of England’s biggest stars becoming the hero in a crucial victory. A player from Thomas Tuchel’s bench, like Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, or Morgan Rogers, comes on and creates his own moment.
Then “I Hope, I Think, I Know” plays after the match, the cameras focus on that player, and the crowd reaches the line, “You’ll never forget my name.”
That would be a scene that would live forever in World Cup history.
‘Slide Away’
There are many ways to explain the beauty of “Slide Away.” It is a classic and one of the most beloved tracks among longtime Oasis fans. It represents everything that makes the band’s sound so iconic.
The thought of England’s players and supporters singing “Let me be the one that shines with you” while lifting the golden trophy would be a generational football visual.
The song is also romantic in its own way, which makes it a fitting soundtrack after all the heartbreak and near misses England has experienced in recent major tournaments.
‘Lyla’
“Lyla” is simply a highly infectious song. It is filled with energy and would sound incredible with the English crowd singing every word alongside the players.
It may be one of the more straightforward songs in Oasis’ catalogue, but that singalong quality is exactly what makes it special.
Hearing it after an England victory would provide one of the biggest morale boosts of the tournament. Knowing how loud and passionate English fans are no matter the sport, it would be the perfect song to start the celebrations.
‘Champagne Supernova’ / ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’
Of course, when we heard “Wonderwall” after England’s opening match, it was a whole vibe. The crowd felt every word, and even the players looked like they were taking in the moment.
While Oasis’ most popular song has already made its appearance, the band’s other iconic tracks, “Champagne Supernova” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” deserve their own moments as well.
Whether it is while England walks out of the tunnel, thanks its supporters after a victory, or even celebrates a World Cup triumph, these songs have the emotion and atmosphere to make those scenes unforgettable. The singalongs to these tracks will be legendary and will produce all-time best English moments.
Who knows? After that opening performance, maybe the idea of England finally bringing it home is not so far-fetched after all.
