A football/soccer game lasts 90 minutes. each half is 45minutes with a 15 minute break in the middle. at the end of each half, stoppage time is added to make up for the time lost during stoppages (fouls, ball out of play, substitutions). this time can vary from 1 minute to as long as 6 minutes in some games. depending on the type of competition, if at the end of 90 minutes, both teams are tied- there will be 2 additions 15 minute halves played. traditionally there is little to no stoppage time at the end of these periods. if at the end of "extra time" there is no winner- there will be a penalty shoot.

BlakeMajor League Soccer matches consist of two 45-minute halves, with a halftime break of about 15 minutes. Stoppage time may be added to the end of each half at the referee's discretion to compensate for delays during the game. In general, most games last about two hours. Although Major League Soccer matches may end in a tie, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches cannot end in a tie. Therefore, if the score is tied at the end of those matches, two 15-minute overtime periods will be played. If the score is still tied at the end of those two 15-minute overtime periods, the match will be decided by penalty kicks.
In an English Premier League Football (or Soccer) match, the length of each half is 45 minutes plus any additional time for injuries. The referee will signal to the 4th official (off the pitch) who will indicate using an electronic board, how many additional minutes will be played. The total time is 90 minutes.
There can NOT be any extra-time or penalties as all matches end in a result, either a win draw or loss.
