Ball possession statistic the way it is reported in my opinion is wrong.
It should be broken to two parts and for which side of the field. own side 30% opponent side 20% for example. This would be more meaningful.
although the total possession at times it may not mean anything.
I recall the qataris kept on passing the ball back and forth in front of their goal many times and that may have been 6 minutes so that is about 7% added to ball possession. That sure makes the stat look good for them.
Perhaps someone can pick up the idea I just presented and suggest it to FIFA in terms of reporting.

You do have a point, CQ can not have the power he has as TM boss anywhere else, he changed the format of the league, put the league on a break for 2 months etc things he can't do anywhere else and of course if it wasn't for the money he wouldn't be in Iran but lets not forget how difficult it is for him to be dealing with a corrupt federation that never keeps its promises, pays him every 6 months and who's head said on live TV that he's against CQ being in charge. People don't fall in love for no reason, on paper he hasn't achieved much but whatever he's done has won the hearts of 70 million Iranians and trust me no other coach can achieve that with our team. He's the best thing that's ever happened to our football, mark my words, time will tell.
