Gas Lads - Everyone’s Going to the World Cup Except Us

“Everyone’s Going to the World Cup Except Us” by Gas Lads is an upbeat Irish pub-folk comedy song about the heartbreak, bitterness, and begrudging humour of watching another World Cup go by without Ireland. With a bigger tournament, tiny nations making it, late-night kick-offs, outrageous ticket prices, “it’s coming home” chants, memories of Italia ’90, and Irish fans left wondering who on earth they’re supposed to support, Gas Lads turn football disappointment into a rowdy singalong for every supporter watching from the couch. It is sardonic, affectionate, slightly wounded, and deeply Irish: we complain, we laugh, we remember the glory days, and then we start dreaming about the next qualification campaign. © 2026 The Uncanny Record Company.
