RIO DE JANEIRO/SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Fog over Rio de Janeiro's Guanabara Bay on Tuesday stranded hundreds of fans trying to catch Brazil's second match of the World Cup in the football tournament's worst travel headache so far.

The closures rippled through Brazil's domestic networks, underscoring the World Cup's dependence on smooth air travel as fans and teams bounce between 12 host cities sprawled across the world's fifth-largest country in terms of area.
