Marjoribanks: Argentina is not Ecuador! Two different teams! The same Argentina was the only team that gave the eventual winners (France) a scare. This is the worst Dutch team in resent memory and was there for the taking too yet Senegal lost. Going by your assertion the Senegalese have weakness against the European teams too? Right?
They've defeated France, Sweden, Poland and drawn with Denmark in the world cup.
Mention one south American team Nigeria has ever got something against in the world cup.
You may extend that to the confederation cup if u wish.
chrisooblog: I like the fact that most of the African teams have switched mentality and go into their games with more boldness and brave. No surprises that the more positive approach gets you results.
This is sadly what Nigeria is yet to get right.
I watched the Senegalese play with a lot of belief, u just knew they were going to get something from this match watching from the beginning.
I just don't understand Nigeria's weakness when it comes to south American opposition, I'm sure we would hv somehow capitulated if we were the ones that played Ecuador today.
We just lack that self belief especially when it comes to the south Americans.
Our match against Argentina in the last world cup is a typical example, it was a match we could easily hv got something but we somehow conspired to self destruct.
That Argentinain team was there for the taking. It was the weakest Argentinain team in a world cup for a long time but our lack of belief made us hand them the match on a platter. Incidentally we were the only side they defeated in the tournament.
Our mentality has to change going to subsequent world cups cuz the format has changed now. Beginning from the next world cup, only the group winners qualify for the next round which means u hv to win all ur games to qualify.
Aforxzy: These are patterned precast concrete slabs. They are like the paving stones but bigger in size. They are made from weak concrete mix and laid like floor tiles. They are mostly used for walkway construction.
While the stamped concrete is laid insitu and bigger in size, these are precast concrete in small size.
Is it more durable? Depends on where you are using it. For walkway , Yes it is. On the drive way. Only if the thickness is good enough for vechicular load.
