I think each quarter is only fifteen minutes. But when during the quarter many timeouts are called, stopped plays, fouls, ect, make each quarter seem much longer. I am reasonably sure it is fifteen minutes, but it may only apply to highschool football games, as those are what I watched the most as my boys played during their highschool years. :-) I do think fifteen minutes applies to Pro games too though.

20 minute quarters,the offical time only runs when the ball \nis in play.\n\nSorry Kali and Big George but it is definietly 20mins of actual playing time.

how it ended the first half, for example if the visitor team scored 2 goals in the first half and 1 in the second then they write the result and then in parentesis the result after the first half

You mean it is still going on. HOW long can you play soccer for?\n\nI guess I will do what I am doing now. I will wait for American Football with you.

Other is the score at half time eg. 4:2 (2:0)  The score was 2 nil at the half.

the answers above are correct but perhaps next time you should specify which "football" you are refering to. In the middle of the world cup it's kind of assumed by some you are talking about soccer but to others soccer and football are two totally different things. \n\nRegardless, Offsides is pretty much the same in both games, you cross the line to the other teams side before you are allowed to, which would either be the snap or the kickoff.

Regulation NHL games usually last 2 1/2.  That is why hockey is broken up into 3 periods.  If it were 4 quarters like other sports, they would have to clean the ice an additional time, which would make a game almost 3 1/2 hours.

It goes back to the first days of the Premier League. Offside means just that. When a player is past the second last defender, he is Off his Side and therefore not supposed to play the ball.\nWhen I went through referee school, Law 11, which covers Offside, is not even one complete page. BUT.... it had 2 videos, about 100 slides, and took over an hour of class time. But it is one of the most simple laws of soccer/football.

Half time score is in parenthesis. (1:0).

actually, i think the primary reason that games start at either 5 or 10 minutes past the hour or the half hour is to allow the television broadcasts to come on the air and prepare the tv audience with a brief preview of the game, starting lineups etc and any pertinent news of the team(call ups, disabed list etc).

Well, they are usually 2 and a half hours long, but the actual game time is way less than that. They have commercials and when calls are made, time isn't taken off the clock, such as fouls. I think the actual time for all 4 quarters is 48 minutes, 12 each. But in halftime, it takes a while too, so it all adds up to around 2 and a half hours long. And foul shots don't take time off the clock either.

The second score (in parentheses) is the score at the end of the first half.

run 6 miles each time you train.  The average soccer player runs six miles in a match.  Center midfielders can run up to 10 miles a game.  Running, stretching, calastenics, and light weighttraining for the legs will help.

the 2nd last opponent is the player of the other team who is not the goal keeper. It'll be declared an offside if a player surpasses the ball and the second last opponent near the D area.

The length of pitch for international matches should be in the range 100 m - 110 m (110-120 yards) and the width should be in the range 65 m - 75 m (70-80 yards). For other matches the constraints are looser: 90 m - 120 m (100-130 yards) length by 45 m - 90 m (50-100 yards) width. The pitch must be rectangular, this is longer than it is wide.\n\nThe longer boundary lines are touch lines, while the shorter boundaries (on which the goals are placed) are goal lines.\n\nThe halfway line divides the pitch in half lengthways. Halfway across the halfway line is the centre spot, from which kick-offs are taken at the start of each playing period and after a goal is scored. The centre circle (radius 9.15 m (10 yards)) surrounds this spot, and serves to indicate the distance opposing players must stay from the ball at a kick-off.\n\nIn each corner of the pitch is a corner arc (quarter-circle radius 1 m (1 yard) which marks the area from which a corner-kick may be taken. Corner flags (minimum height 1.5 m (5 feet)) are required to be placed at each corner; similar flagposts may be optionally placed 1 m (1 yard) from each end of the halfway line.\n\nA goal area, penalty area, penalty spot and penalty arc are marked in front of each goal; these are discussed below.

A simple version of the offside rule in soccer\nwould be: \n\n1. A player is in an offside position if:\n   -he is nearer to his opponent's goal line\n    than both the ball and the second last opponent.\n\nA player is not in an offside position if:\n\n   - he is in his own half of the field\n   - he is level with the second last opponent\n   - he is level with the last two opponents\n\nNow a player in an offside position is only\npenalized if, at the moment the ball touches \nor is played by one of his team, he is, in the\nopinion of the referee, involved in active play\nby:\n\n- interfering with play\n- interfering with an opponent\n- gaining an advantage by being in that \n  position.\n\nIf the ball is received directly from\n a goal kick, throw-in and corner kick,\n there is no offside offence.\n\nThis is probably the simplest way of \nexplaining the offside rule in soccer.
