BLACKWELL: You probably love where you live, and it's probably a beautiful place, but look at this. Come on, Copacabana Beach, beautiful, 81 degrees. This shot coming to us from Earth Cam.</s>PAUL: Of course, the host nation of this year's World Cup, Brazil.</s>BLACKWELL: Two big games on the schedule --</s>PAUL: I'd go.</s>BLACKWELL: I'd go, too -- on the schedule for today.</s>PAUL: In about an hour, host nation Brazil takes on Chile. Then at 4:00 p.m. Columbia faces off with Uruguay.</s>BLACKWELL: Let's go to CNN's Amanda Davies, who is with some wild fans there in the fan zone in Rio. Amanda, I can hear the excitement level, but take me there.</s>DAVIES: It is absolutely fantastic here today. Every single person it seems on the streets of Rio has some kind of football shirt, be it a Brazilian shirt or a Chilean shirt or Columbian Uruguayan, Mexican, American, every World Cup country is represented today. On my right, there are thousands of fans here streaming into the fan-fest for the first game which, as you said, kicks off in about an hour's time, the host Brazil against Chile. To my left, I have the beach and the sea and another few thousand people, all with their football shirts on, but grabbing a few rays before the action gets underway. There really is only one thing to be doing in this town today, and that is to be out on the beach watching a football game.</s>BLACKWELL: Sounds great. Amanda Davies, thank you so much. And we'll be right back.
