I know Kelci linked this but GO WATCH!


Whoo embeded video.

So Roberto Carlos is purely special in this (The 'Lift the cup and pass it on' line) and almost most of the French '98/02 squad is there. Look, Djokaeff (frontmost guy at 'Come together undivided'), Sagnol being...Sagnol, Vieira, Zizou, Deschamps, Blanc, a profile shot of Desailly, Dugarry's in it , Barthez, Wiltord (or Makélélé) and Sylvestre and I think that's it.

Djembe Djembe boogie-ing amused me and I think Henry's speaking in...West Indian-style French or, Créole rather. (I was thinking Patois but that's more English-sounding than French)

NOTE
: The Petit seen in this is Emmanuel Petit who played for France and was well-known for that ponytail of his (Deschamps had a mullet in '98..) not the Portugese one.

Song is Live for Love United by Youssou N'Dour and Pascal Obispo...which shocks me because woah, Pascal sings really well in English. (There's another LOVE UNITED video with footballers called Y a pas un homme (qui soit né pour ça) by Pascal Obispo (feat. Calogero, F. Pagny) and in the video since I suspect it was filmed right around the time Zizou announced his return, there's shots of people holding newspapers at first which read with headlines showing the French people's skepticism on whether Les Bleus would qualify then later people are reading papers which read 'IL EST DE RETOUR!' or 'IL REVIENT!' for Zizou. Saw it on TV5, haven't been able to find it. There's even people sporting those LOVE UNITED shirts. Speaking of Pascal, he made a tribute song to Rosa Parks called Rosa which is a really nice song)

EDIT Found Rosa http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Pascal%20Obispo/video/x82y3_Pascal-Obispo-Rosa
(The Black tulips serving the White Lilies serve as powerful yet...disturbing symbolism...wow.)
And Y'a pas un homme
