UK:Campaign to make Wonderwall England's World Cup anthem

Noel Gallagher has thrown his support behind calls for Wonderwall to become England's unofficial World Cup anthem.

The Oasis songwriter, 59, spoke out about supporting the idea after England's 4-2 victory over Croatia in Dallas on Wednesday, where an estimated 20,000 supporters remained in the stands after the final whistle to sing the Britpop classic alongside members of Thomas Tuchel's squad.

"Wonderwall belongs to the people, and it was a magical moment between the people and the players," Noel told The Sun, which is spearheading the campaign.

"Best of luck to everyone who's made the trip out there."

The Wonderwall singalong moment rapidly went viral online and has fuelled growing momentum behind a campaign to make the song the soundtrack to England's World Cup journey.
