I just think they’re too cocky, overly confident
I think that's a cover for deep insecurity, personally. It's not enough to win. They're expected to blast teams off the face of the planet, the way Pele's sides did.

Ronaldo is the only player they have produced since who managed to stand up to playing in that kind of a shadow. As insane as it may sound, he holds the record for goals scored by a player that lifted the trophy in that tournament. The only question is whether scoring every goal in the semifinal and final is more impressive than Maradona single-handedly hauling Argentina into the final in the preceding two rounds.

There’s no fear factor to them any more really. They seem mortal these days
