Answer 1

60 minutes on the clock - 12-15 minutes is average playing time. This means that the average player plays 6 minutes and 15 seconds, depending on how much time his offensive or defensive team is on the field.

Answer 2

90 minutes in football (soccer to the yanks) with the allowance of 30 minutes extra time if it is a draw. (Extra time is not used in some tournaments but i couldn't tell you which one.)

There may also be a penalty shoot out if the game is still drawn after extra time and f the game is still drawn it moves onto sudden death. But generally 90 minutes in football ( a little over depending on injury time) and the time varies in American football.
