JAKARTA - Harry Kane not only led England to the World Cup quarter-finals. He also lost his voice because he was too late celebrating the victory while singing Wonderwall, Oasis' hit song released in 1995.

The moment immediately reached Liam Gallagher. The Oasis vocalist then sent open support to Kane and signaled that he was ready to bring Wonderwall if England advanced to the final.

The Mirror, quoted Tuesday, July 7, reported that Kane scored a penalty goal when England won 3-2 over Mexico on Monday morning. The victory brought Thomas Tuchel's team into the quarter-finals against Norway.

After the match, Kane was interviewed by the BBC. However, the 32-year-old England captain had trouble speaking. His voice was hoarse. He admitted that he lost his voice after singing Wonderwall in celebration of victory.

Liam then responded to the moment via Instagram. In his typical style, he wrote, "Singing is really hard work, Harry Kane, let's go ENGLAND, let's go WONDERWALL."

The joke continued when a fan asked Liam to fly and sing Wonderwall directly on the pitch if England made it to the final. Liam, who last year returned to the Oasis tour with his brother, Noel Gallagher, did not close the opportunity.

"We'll see. I'm ready," Liam said.

Kane himself was still hard to talk to after the match. "My voice is gone. It's a crazy game, we have to fight. We have to find something. I was just singing there, I really can't talk," Kane told the BBC, quoted by The Mirror.

"Everything was against us, we found a way. I lost words, I can't even talk," he said.

The England match against Mexico was indeed hot. After the first half hour was tight, England opened the lead through Jude Bellingham. He headed Bukayo Saka's cross.

Two minutes later, Bellingham scored again. The goal started with a ball seized by Anthony Gordon in the opponent's area. Kane then sent a cross that was completed by Bellingham.

Mexico reduced the deficit before halftime through Julian Quinones from a dead ball situation. England were under pressure, but Jordan Pickford kept his team's lead until the first half was over.

The drama did not stop. In the second half, right back Jarrel Quansah received a direct red card after a VAR review, the video assistant referee system, for a dangerous tackle. England had to play with 10 men.

However, Kane made England move away again. He calmly executed the penalty after Gordon was fouled in the penalty box. The goal gave England a 3-1 lead, before the match ended 3-2.

The Mirror also noted that the victory over Mexico made England meet Norway in the quarter-finals. Norway qualified after eliminating five-time world champions Brazil with a score of 2-1. Erling Haaland scored two goals in the match.

England's match against Norway will be played on Saturday, July 11, at 22.00 local time. If they win, England will appear in the semi-finals on Wednesday, July 15, at 20.00, against Switzerland, Colombia, Argentina or Egypt.

The victory kept England's World Cup run going. Off the pitch, OASIS' Wonderwall song was back in the spotlight after becoming the song that made Kane lose his voice.
