The answer is simple: Carlos Pareira.
A history lesson for you: You see, after 1970, Brazil made it to the semi finals in 74 (4th place) and 78 (3rd Place), falling short of reaching the final. Then came the "Awsome " Generation of Zico, Socrates, Falcao, Junior, etc. Bad ***. After blowing the competition away, they always fell short against Italy in 1982 (eventual WC Champs and always a contender), France in 1986 (Euro Champs undr Platini ´84, 3rd place in 86), and Argentina in 1990 (eventual WC finalists led by Maradona). Brazilians were getting traumatized. Never had they hit such bad luck (20 years), and playing "jogo Bonito" which was their trademark, and were spoiled by the Golden Generation (50s and 60s -- 2nd place 1950, 1st Place in 58 and 62 -- under Zagalo, Didi, Garrincha, Pele, etc).
Then came a guy who said that it wasn't bad luck, but the fault of playing "Jogo Bonito" (how warped can that be!?). He was Carlos Pareira. His solution: Brazilians should play like the Europeans, become tactical slaves under tactical tyrants. Jogo Bonito just had to go. The Jogo Bonito group of 1990 (Romario, Bebeto, Dunga, Branco, Tafaerl, etc) blended with his tactical philosophy to win it in 1994. Then came another Generation, one to begin with a clean slate, no jogo bonito to deal with and Europeanized to the hilt. That was the Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, and Ronaldinho, etc). As much as he and Zagalo, and Scolari tried to eliminate jogo bonito instincts in them, it always surfaced to shine occationally. The tactical schemes gave them "results" in 1998 (2nd place) and 2002 (1st place) but Brazilian jogo bonito was fading or purged in place of the tactical. Parreira had his next stint as tactical dictator in 2006 and he was getting his results, but something was missing -- jogo bonito which is instinctual in Brazilians. Ronaldinho couldn't fit in, playing against his own instinct and for tactics instead. It hurt him. Zidane revived French style the jogo bonito and said to hell with Dominic's tactical tirany that was geting them nowhere after the first round, and that took the day.
Rijkard's philosophy is Dutch Old School, the Jogo Bonito of Cruyuf, with the center midfielder calling the shots traditionally. Brazil quit that after 1990, and Ronaldinho hasn't been able to adopt to it., and that there was his problem, and your answer.
Argentina is in the same boat, as well as France and England, abandoning their tradition in way of tactical dominance. FIFA must make a reform, like eliminating off sides, to revive the lost individuality that gave soccer its mystique in the first place. Europeans were tactically dominated (especially E. Europeans), Latin Americans were jogo bonito dominated. That was the rivalry. Now, L. A. has become Europeanized, and no rivalry but a marketed national team rivalry promoted by advertisers.
Africa proved to be pure jogo bonito and very Brazilian. Brazil can learn from Ivory Coast and Ghana.

Ronaldinho did his best during the game with France.
He did a great job when he got a ball, and also tried himself a pk when he got a chance in the second game.
France was too good and great more than we expected, their good defense didn't let Brazil make a goal. Zidane and Henry, they lead to make the team win to the next stage.
Ronaldinho's eyes looked different this time, 'cause every time he got a ball, he ran to make a good position to pass the ball then passed a good ball forward to Ronaldo to make a goal. France didn't let them go and didn't make Brazil fix a good timing for shooting a ball, because of their really good defense.
This time Ronaldo made the greatest record of the world for making goals because he could achieve with the team cooperation, being with Ronaldinho (especially, with you), Cafu, Robert Carlos (his defense was really good, too.) Adriano, Kaka, Robinho, and all of the members of Brazil.
Brazil tried to do a good defense for France 'cause it was supposed that Zidane came back to make it. Ronaldinho himself, he did his best during the game.
I still believe that o sr.Carlos Alberto Parreira's plan was not wrong even Brazil didnt win this time, and I might know what he wanted to try and make it.
I believe that Ronaldinho and all of the members from Brazil, they will do their best from now on and on!
muito obrigada pra vcs, os tudos jogadores do brasil e o sr Parreira!
Ronaldinho, te amo muito por sempre!

because wen he plays for barcelona, everyone is a average player while ronaldhino is amazing.ronaldhino just gets a pass from the average players and he takes it in all by himself, but wen he played brazil, everyone's a superstar, and he didnt want to be greedy so he passed alot and he didnt want to take it in all by himself since he has some otherr players he could rely on

He thought he could turn on the talent whenever he wanted. Not so in the World Cup.

I think it had to do with that silly head band he was wearing in the first half of the game. How can he think straight with all the hair?

It is probably because he was playing with different people with different abilities.
