    I don't know too much about it, and I won't be watching any of it,
    but I do recall South Africa having a strong women's team over the
    last few years so for a bit of fun I'll stick my neck out and say...

    Winners: South Africa

    Runners-Up: Morocco (Home advantage and all that)

    Because women's football is very predictable, don't you think?

    I hadn't noticed, but then I've only really been following women's football since about 2015.

    Nigeria lost on penalties in the semi-final against Morocco. Nigeria play Zambia in the 3rd place match, and Morocco play South Africa in the Final.

    Good to see that in the repechage, both teams that didn't end in the top 2 of their 1st round groups lost.

    South Africa beat Zambia in the semi-final, and Zambia beat Nigeria in the 3rd place match; plus South Africa beat Nigeria earlier in the tournament. Morocco needed a penalty shoot-out to beat Nigeria. South Africa have got to be the favourites to win the Final haven't they?
