Wonderwall: The Unscripted Britpop Anthe...

MRNM
About this episode

The Minnesota United FC post-victory ritual, belting out Oasis’s "Wonderwall," is one of the most organic and beautifully absurd traditions in Major League Soccer (MLS). This episode chronicles how a spontaneous locker-room jam session after a 4-1 win became the club's thunderous, unifying, post-game sacrament. We explore the delicious irony that the club, based in the backyard of Minnesota's musical deity, Prince, rallies instead behind a Britpop ballad, embracing the song's universal karaoke appeal and its simple mantra of "Today is gonna be the day." We detail how this chorus, sung in unison by thousands of Loons faithful, transforms Allianz Field into a galaxy of shared belonging, cementing an identity built not by a club memo, but by pure, shared joy.
