00:00Football fever has come to New York City ahead of the World Cup.
00:04The official jersey for the French national team was released this week.
00:09We're here to check it out at the French consulate.
00:13Details matter a lot.
00:15The red high heels, the red lips.
00:20And I never forget my little pin from France.
00:32Football, or soccer as they say here, is growing so much in the U.S.
00:36And with the World Cup coming, it's going to inspire a whole new generation of kids to play the game.
00:43This color is inspired by the Statue of Liberty.
00:47It's a gift of France to the United States.
00:50We thought it was the best symbol of our friendship.
00:54It's amazing and I'm super excited.
00:56I can't wait June and July.
00:58Vive la France!
01:01This year we're going to lift the trophy.
01:03We're going to win it.
01:04And I hope they win every match.
01:10We have the best players and the best coach.
01:14The World Cup is a huge global celebration.
01:16We're here in the United States in the year marking 250 years of Franco-American friendship.
01:22For us, it's an extraordinary moment of celebration.
01:25What I want to say to young people is simple.
01:27Believe in your dreams.
01:28I believed in mine.
01:30I had the chance to experience something incredible.
01:32That feeling of becoming one with the entire French people.
01:34It was just magical.
01:35I hope we'll get to relive that again this year.
01:39France will play their first game against Senegal on June 16th in New Jersey.
01:44But not until we'll see.
