I doubt many locals would be thrilled if Brazil changed tactics to play like Stoke on the international stage, even if a World Cup trophy accompanied said change

likely. dunga eperienced this to an extent

but the "beautiful game" is not effective at this time, so i mean...c'mon brazil

barca fans were upset with pep when he first took over barca. they changed their culture pretty fricking quickly

False. Spain, Barcelona, Germany, Bayern, Dortmund and even United, Chelsea, City, Arsenal and Liverpool, among many, many others, still play the game beautifully. Competition has improved, and tactics along with it.

Tactical beauty can be appreciated as much as aesthetic beauty (see: my post in the Barça/Bayern game thread), and it's a shame people don't realize that.

I don't recall this. I mean, Barca has been a passing team since Cruyff took over. Pep streamlined the philosophy to include more awareness of positioning with and without the ball, but the possession game has been a big part of who Barca was and is. Evidence here. LINK

No, many doubted whether or not he was ready. They felt it would be a three season ramp up to competitiveness.
