Very interesting read -- especially the median ball in play in minutes for the big 5 leagues statsbomb.com/2017/02/additional-time-spains-missing-minutes/______________ The rules of football are very clear. Law 7, “The Duration of the Match” states that “A match lasts for two equal halves of 45 minutes”. The rules also make an “Allowance for Time Lost”, in which they list the following scenarios where allowance should be made for all time lost due to: The first thing to note is that the median Ball In Play (BIP) value across all leagues never exceeds 57 minutes (the minutes values displayed on the chart are rounded to the closest minute). Almost 90% of games have an effective BIP duration of less than 60 minutes. That, typically, more than 1/3rd of the allotted playing time per the rules of the game witnesses no action on the pitch isn’t very intuitive. Is that what the rules makers intended when the laws of the game were laid down? If we look at the last two or three seasons we see that the Spanish Primera Liga is an outlier in terms of the actual time played when compared to the other leagues. While the other four leagues have a median observed BIP time of 56 – 57 minutes the Spanish league typically sees 2 – 3 minutes less actual playing time per game.

Why do you think the Spanish league has less playing time per game? 2-3 minutes less than average is actually pretty significant.

The Spanish League is 2-3 minutes less....due to all the rolling around and flopping on the pitch
