General assessmentHad a terrible game with some bad decisions, most of them in favor of Brazil. Second red card was ridiculous, as were a couple of yellows cards. Really sad to see someone of his level at the Olympics. Looking at his stats he does give out yellow and red

Brazil OT - Belgium OT, 1 - 0. Shenyang, Shenyang, China, 2008-08-07
Al Ghamdi is not good enough for this level - although I wonder what level this actually is, at least it's an interesting level: Ronaldinho (Milan) versus a guy called Sepp De Roover (Groningen). And I'm not sure who won.
but to get back at Al Ghamdi
he showed his yellow card a lot. Too often and when a referee shows his card too often there will always be dissent: why me and why not him? And with all those bookings there will be a double one. Kompany was sent off, and Al Ghamdi was right. Fellaini was sent off and Al Ghamdi was wrong. Very wrong. Even my 5 year old saw Rafinha fake being hurt after Fellaini touched his back. And so I get back to the level of this tournament: if this referee is fooled by a player this easily, he shouldn't be here.
match
The Belgians weren't bad, but because they only played on the right side of the field we didn't seer talents like Dembele or Martens. The Brazilians weren't bad either but because they only played on the left side of the field the only guy we saw was Ronaldinho. It would have been a better match with a better referee
