Liam Gallagher, Oasis’s lead singer, made a joke no one forgot: if Mexico beat England in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, the band would never play on Mexican soil again.
Mexican fans didn’t stay quiet and played along on social media, hopefully betting that soccer karma was going to cost the rocker dearly. But football has a script of its own: England won 3-2 in a heart-stopping match and advanced to the quarterfinals, leaving Gallagher’s threat as a joke without consequences.
So Oasis still has a free pass to return to Mexico. Rock and football crossed paths once again, and this time the score worked in favor of the concerts. 🎸⚽
