Women's football is surprising similar to men's football. Facts like England always losing on penalties, England playing the long ball and France being the up and coming team seem to be present in both types of football. The biggest shock of the World Cup so far as far as I know is Germany getting knocked out by arguably minnows, Japan. I don't follow women's football at all if I'm honest, but seeing as the world cup is on, I figured I may as well watch it.
So, who will win? France, Sweden, Japan and the USA are left in the competition, and, out of that, I'm going to say France. I watched the France vs England game and they looked impressive. Yes they only managed to overcome England on penalties but their style of play was really entertaining and they have a few good player: Necib and Abily, for example.
Brazil would undoubtedly have been the favourites had they managed to beat USA but they lost on penalties: they have the world's best player Marta, who is the Messi of women's football if you like.
Again, I think the French will probably win it now, but the USA and potentially Japan will give them a good challenge. I'm definitely going to be watching the Final which promises to be action packed and hopefully will go to penalties.
