ok look

standard "soccer" game is 90 minutes of regulation play

clock starts at zero...

game is split into two 45 minute periods for scoring purposes

certain game infractions warrent a stoppage of time at the end of the game...

so a game could essentially run 90+ in regulation play

in the events where a 0-0 score is achieved at the end of the game and a clear winner is needed there are 2 overtimes....

after 2 overtimes if still a tie then they go to a shootout, 5 players from each side one on one at a time with opposing goalie...

best outta 5 wins
