The Oasis frontman took to social media to react to England's World Cup loss against Argentina.

Liam Gallagher has reacted to England's World Cup result and suggested what the squad need to do to win the international tournament.

The country's World Cup hopes were dashed when Argentina beat England 2-1 in the semi-finals last night (15th July), but the Oasis frontman offered words of consolation.

Taking to X, the Manchester rocker wrote: "Respect to the lads it’s nobody’s GOD given right to win the WC congratulations to Argentina best team won onwards n sideways LG x"

However after offering his thoughts, the rocker went as far to suggest what the national team needed to do to win a World Cup and make a not-so-subtle dig at England manager Thomas Tuchel in the process.

He wrote: "England won’t win a WC until we get street wise and that goes for the managers it’s all got too technical let the kids run wild."

The Britpop legend has been following the football and supporting England during their World Cup bid more than ever this, after Oasis single Wonderwall became tied to the team's celebrations.

The 1995 hit started gaining attention when it was sung by 20,000 England fans after the squad's 4-2 win against Croatia on Wednesday 17th June.

Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane were among the footballers who sang it back to the crowd, with the moment going viral shortly after and the move becoming a tradition as the team moved through the competition.

Not long after, when Harry Kane lost his voice and squeaked live on air before being rendered "speechless", the Manchester rocker responded with a joke on X, suggesting it's not as easy as it looks to sing the band's flagship song.

“'It’s hard work that singing, Harry Kane," The frontman joked on the micro blogging site, before adding: "C’mon ENGLAND cmon WONDERWALL.”

When news of Wonderwall streams spiking before England's match against Ghana emerged, Gallagher also reacted to the impressive stat, writing: "And rightly so it’s a f***ing classic and I sound BIBLICAL on it".
