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.
