“ONE SONG, ONE STADIUM, ONE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT” — ENGLAND FANS BRING THE NOISE AS THREE LIONS HUMILIATE CROATIA 7-0 IN RIJEKA

England’s remarkable 7-0 demolition of Croatia in Rijeka was not only a night to remember because of the football. Despite the unusual circumstances surrounding the match, the small group of England supporters who made it into Stadion HNK Rijeka still managed to make their voices heard.

The Nations League clash on October 3, 2026, was officially played behind closed doors because of UEFA sanctions against Croatia. However, a UEFA exemption allowed around 6,200 Croatian children into the stadium, while 100 England supporters were also permitted to attend. That meant the travelling English contingent was dramatically outnumbered, but their enthusiasm was anything but small.

And as Thomas Tuchel’s side began tearing Croatia apart, the England supporters found plenty to celebrate.

“ARE YOU SCOTLAND IN DISGUISE?”

One of the clearest chants reported during the match came after England had established a huge advantage.

With England 6-0 ahead, the travelling supporters turned their attention towards their hosts and broke into the chant:

“ARE YOU SCOTLAND IN DISGUISE?”

It was classic football banter, delivered at the moment when Croatia were being completely overwhelmed. The chant was reported directly during the live coverage of the match, highlighting how the small England section was still making itself heard despite being surrounded by thousands of Croatian children.

By that point, England were producing one of their most devastating performances in recent memory. Harry Kane had scored twice, while Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon also got on the scoresheet twice. Jude Bellingham produced a sensational midfield performance, contributing a goal and three assists, before Morgan Rogers added the seventh late on.

THEN CAME “WONDERWALL”

At the final whistle, the mood among the England supporters turned celebratory.

The 100 travelling fans were reported singing Oasis’ “Wonderwall” while applauding the England players.

That moment has particular significance because “Wonderwall” has become closely associated with England supporters during 2026. The tradition began after England’s 4-2 World Cup victory over Croatia in June, when fans sang the Oasis classic together with the players after the final whistle. Harry Kane subsequently described that connection between the players and supporters as one of his favourite moments in an England shirt.

So, remarkably, Croatia once again found themselves on the wrong end of an England celebration involving “Wonderwall”.

The song has effectively developed into an unofficial soundtrack for England’s 2026 campaign, with supporters repeatedly singing it after victories.

“IT’S COMING HOME” STILL ECHOES AROUND ENGLAND SUPPORT

Another familiar England chant around this period has been “It’s coming home”, the famous refrain associated with Three Lions. England supporters were also filmed singing it in Dallas around the June World Cup meeting with Croatia.

However, it is important to separate that from what was specifically documented inside Stadion HNK Rijeka on October 3. The strongest match-specific reports identify “Are you Scotland in disguise?” during the 7-0 rout and “Wonderwall” at full-time. There is not enough reliable evidence to claim that a particular 53-year-old chant was definitively sung by the England supporters inside the stadium that night.

And that distinction matters.

The atmosphere in Rijeka was unlike a normal England away match. Instead of a packed away end containing thousands of travelling supporters, England had just 100 fans. The rest of the stadium was filled largely by Croatian children who had been admitted under UEFA’s special exemption.

Yet those 100 supporters still managed to leave their mark.

England did the talking on the pitch, destroying Croatia 7-0, while the travelling fans provided the soundtrack off it. From the cheeky “Are you Scotland in disguise?” taunt to the emotional post-match rendition of “Wonderwall,” it became another memorable chapter in England’s increasingly lively supporter culture under Tuchel.

One song. One stadium. One unforgettable night — and 100 England fans who refused to be quiet.
