Intro:

Football fans party at Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro ahead of the World Cup semi-finals.

Script:

It's fair to say most World Cup fans are enjoying themselves in Brazil....

This was the pre-semi-final party on Copacabana beach, more tourists have come to Rio than any other host city, including plenty of the estimated 100,000 Argentina fans here.

Even fans of those teams not in the last four are still making their voices heard.

You don't need to be in the semi-final to play on the beach.

The tournament will end just up the road from here this weekend, Argentina fans are starting to believe they might just do their own Maracazo and beat Brazil in the final. Netherlands and Germany will have something to say about that but it is all set for a thrilling last week of what could be the greatest World Cup of all time.
