Gradually with Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva in charge as President, Brazil moved ahead of Argentina as the region's spokesperson. His protege Dilma Rousseff took over in 2010 and continues to steady the ship, selling valuable commodities to China and working towards both the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and the football World Cup in 2014.
