...typical” blind date replete with raging libidos in settings conducive to coitus. Post-date, producers add supposedly humorous commentary in white dialogue boxes that appear sporadically throughout the broadcast. After it’s all over, dates confess their feelings of love or repulsion to host Roger Lodge (don’t worry, no one else knows who he is either). On a recent episode, confident coquette Pamela met Tony, an electronics salesman with a knack for skirt-chasing.

These men are part of a long list of French managers whose personal success and exposure to France's remarkable player-development program won them jobs guiding national teams, professional clubs - and occasionally, as in Troussier's case, improving the entire structure of a country's soccer system. Troussier's three-year drive to recast the Japan Football Association a la français has already begun to bear fruit: under the 46-year...
