2nd Round - 2nd Leg African Women's Championships [R]

thanks for the scores!!

so ghana won't be reappearing at women's world cup now...they had some very talented players during the '99 wc that i remember, especially their keeper...

Oct 11 DR Congo 1-0 Angola (Series tied 1-1, Angola advances 5-4 on PKs)

Oct 11 Morocco 0-0 Mali (Series tied 0-0, Mali advances 5-4 on PKs)

Oct 12 South Africa 4-0 Zambia (S Africa advances 8-1 aggregate)

Oct 12 Cameroon 4-0 Gabon (Cameroon advances 5-1 aggregate)

Oct 12 Ghana 3-1 Senegal (Senegal advances 4-3 aggregate)

Oct 13 Uganda 2-2 Ethiopia (Ethiopia advances 4-2 aggregate)

Oct 13 Zimbabwe 5-0 Tanzania (Zimbabwe advances 10-0 aggregate)

So Mali and Senegal hold on to pull off major surprises and eliminate Morocco and the Black Queens of Ghana. Ethiopia and Angola pull minor surprises as well. Is this an indicator of a deeper pool of talent developing in Africa?

My guess is South Africa or Cameroon are now second-favorites to advance to China 2003, with Nigeria being the heavy favorite of course.

 

Two finalists in the Cup of Nations in Nigeria - not sure when it will be held. Eight teams in the tournament - the seven qualifiers listed above and Nigeria as hosts/defending champs.
