The Gurus

Llew Llewellyn of American Soccer News and I were both interviewing Galaxy coach Frank Yallop, at the Super Clasico presser and Llew made a passing comment about how perhaps New York Red Bulls coach Bruce Arena should open his own coaching school, seeing as how his former assistants (USMNT's interim coach Bob Bradley and now-Wizards coach Curt Onalfo) are doing well.

"Yeah," Yallop agreed, then added, "Dominic’s done ok, hasn’t he?"

The reference was, of course, to Yallop's former protege, Houston Dynamo coach Kinnear.

"I'm just kidding," said Yallop of taking credit for Kinnear's soccer savvy, while Llew and I laughed.

Of course there's always that saying about jokes holding a grain of truth.
