Football Notes: La Liga Atletico Madrid's Success Draws Attention Of Wall Street Journal

La Liga Atlético Madrid's "excellent season" is producing "echoes that are crossing boundaries." The team is receiving attention "even in countries in which there is little interest in European football." The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday published an article about Atlético's success. The WSJ's Joshua Robinson wrote in the piece, "For most of the past 40 years, Atlético Madrid has been the New York Mets of Spanish soccer to Real Madrid's Yankees -- a gritty, sometimes comically inept afterthought in a city known for championships. ... This year, it's also closing in on the league title" (AS, 4/15). ... EPL Aston Villa has suspended assistant manager Ian Culverhouse and head of football operations Gary Karsa "pending an internal investigation" (London GUARDIAN, 4/15).
