in Australian rules footbal., there are four periods. with each period, (which is called a quater) is 25 mins long, plus stoppage time.\nStopage time is basicly whenever the whistle is blown, and play stops, such as a goal or point is scored, free kick, mark, or out of bounds.

Usually the superbowl lasts about 4 hours...

Well, it depends. They play the best of 5 games, each game scores to 30. \nSo, if a team wins 3 right away it could take an hour and a half or 2 hours. If they go all 5 games it could take up to 2 1/2 hours or so. But college vb is a fast game so on average I'd say 2 hours.

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.

Hmm I don't know about the previous answers.\n\nIt's a completely different type of football.\n\nYou have soccer, NFL, Australian Rules etc.\n\nAll are called football in their countries but all are different games.\n\nDifficult question to answer, have you got 12 hours?\nCheck out Australian football on www.afl.com.au

There are 2 types of game \n\n1.One day game known as ODI lasts for approximately 6hrs + 45mins break. \n2.Test match is for 5days where 2 teams can bat 2 times (Innings)\n3.Now ICC (International Cricket Council) is trying to promote 20/20 games which last less then 1day game. Difference between these two is One Day game has 50 Overs X 6 pitches where 20/20 has 20 Overs X 6 pitches

45 mins per half, 15 minutes half time, so minimum of 105 mins (1hr 45), plus any injury time the ref decides to add, plus any extra time if its an important game and no-one has scored yet....

people here keep saying that time is added on after the 90minutes..... this is not correct.\n\nImagine a game starting... the referee starts the clock, this is the ONLY official time keep of the game also the television company will display a timer and also all who watch the game can keep time. If the game starts at 8pm you would expect half time to be at 8.45.\n\nbut.....\n\nas the game progresses there will be times when the referee will stop his timer, for when there are injuries as these 2minutes that a player is rolling around on the floor are not played time.\n\nThis is where it gets confusing.... when the 45 minutes SEEM to be up this is because the half started at 8 and now its 8.45 everyone expects the game to end but the referee does not go by real time, he will end the game when his timer reads 45minutes....... so why have the announcement at the end for the "EXTRA" minutes. This is a little misleading as they are not extra minutes it is the 4th officials way of letting us know how many minutes are left on the referees timer when we are past what SEEMED to be the 45minutes!!\n\nGet it?

I have seen a couple of American games live and it is more of a family day out.\nThere is a lot of entertainment apart from the game plus great shows at the end of each quarter.\nThere is also a large selection of good food.\nI think many Americans see a football match as an event so short its not worth going to watch 90mins of men diving around, grey skys and lousy food.

Your first stop should be the official AFL website.  You could also try asking some work colleagues who I am sure would explain the basics.

No way, the games are long enough! I think that would change the dynamic of the game too much, but I do think it needs to be in football!

Each individual match is 90 minutes long with two 45 minute halves. After each half the refferre will add minutes back on for stoppage time. Which on average is usually 2 or 3 minutes. The World Cup, however, will continue throughout the whole month of June until the final is played in early July.

a college football game = four 15 minute quarters, but like Pro games you can't compute the average time. this is due to exchange of ball control, and  and time outs.  To guess, I would think it takes 3.124 hrs. to complete a game that lasts only 1 hr.  and homecoming might extend this by .5 hrs given half time activities.  so I say 3.124+ .5= 3.624 hrs. average.  lets round down to 3.5 hours. and you owe me 10 pts.

Try Federation Square in Melbourne city; will be crowded though ... I'm sure there are some bars and clubs still open at the time of the game; Crown Casino comes to mind. Hope this helps; I'm from Sydney though so a bit scratchy on places.

Dear God!  I don't have 24 hours to explain all that.  The Idea behind the game is 22 players 11 per team get 4 chances per possession to score or defend their end zone on a field that consists of 100 yards in length in which 10 yards gained grants you another possession.

There are three 20-minute periods, but it usually takes about three hours to play the game out.
