The wait continues. England’s FIFA World Cup 2026 run ended on Wednesday (July 15) in fittingly devastating fashion as two late goals saw Argentina deservedly beat the Three Lions as they sought their first World Cup final in 60 years. It was their third semi-final defeat in a row at this stage of the tournament, each more maddening than the last. But who’s counting, eh?

There could be one silver lining, however — at least for the Gallagher brothers. Oasis’ “Wonderwall,” which became an unofficial anthem during the Three Lions run in the tournament, is within touching distance of hitting No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart for the very first time. The song previously peaked at No. 2 back in 1995.
