In my own opinion I would rather say its the end of an era for the Brazilian national team and its time they start all over again to build a formidable team that can replicate the feats of the Brazilian team of 98 and 2002. Similarly this was the case of Spain after winning the European cup and the world cup respectively yet they began to suddenly decline due to some factors that were beyond their control, for example, change of players, coaches, retirement of some players in the team, injuries etc which makes it difficult for some national teams to continue to dominate in the world stage for a long period of time.
