The basic rules of the sport, yes. Club history, style of play, etcétera, I don´t think so.

Your puerile dig couldn´t be any further from the truth.

their team playing to their strengths.
Again, you don´t understand football. The OP is about a club´s history and playing style.
Playing to their strengths as you say, is a club deviating substantially from it´s M.O. and-or sporting DNA(see Mourinho, Jóse, Real Madrid).

i just reject an aesthetically-based view of judging success. it's an illogical and irrational view
results are what matters
if you want to criticize jose for how Real did in la liga this year? that's fine. i think they should have beaten BvB as well. criticize him for failing at those things is perfectly logical
but to claim barca, who was butt fricked, did better than real, who was a goal away from moving on, it just irrational
this has little to do with me being american. it's just logic/rationality

Yes, but it's the quintessential, "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario.
And, let's face it. They've probably truly sat back and looked to hit a team on the counter <15-20 times over Mourinho's tenure.

I understand that the Madrid fanbase demands more from their club than anyone else. Not only do they demand results, but they expect to be awed with the style of play. They want to see a Broadway performance and footballing dominance all rolled into one.
Obviously, I do not know nearly as much as you about Madrid, but I have read and learned some about their history and style. Since Ronaldo and Ozil are my two favorite players to watch (some of my other favorites are Pirlo, Ribery, Zlatan, Gotze, and Bale) I have grown to like Madrid. Naturally, I wanted to learn more about the club. I understand why the fan base is angry, but they are just being illogical at times.
