Brazil is in a solid position. In the past, if the United States sneezed, we caught pneumonia. Today, if the United States sneezes, we sneeze too.

I will never tire from repeating my commitment to ensuring that every Brazilian can have breakfast, lunch and supper every day.

I know how to move between political camps. When everyone in the world hated (Libyan leader Moammar) Gadhafi, I paid him an official visit. It caused an uproar - Lula's visiting the devil!

Without Messi there isn't a team for Argentina, Messi is brilliant, different, with a strong mentality. Let's hope he doesn't change.

The fight against hunger and poverty is also predicated on the creation of a world order that accords priority to social and economic development.

It is clear that Messi is on a level above all others. Those who do not see that are blind.

When I see Messi - who is the best player in the world in my opinion - lose the ball, he runs off until he gets it back or commits a foul. Our guys lose the ball and fold their arms.
