How many minutes or hours go by in the "English game" of football before someone scores on average?

I'll bet it is a lot longer than the 40 minutes or so that it takes to complete two innings.

On the other hand, the English game of rugby I find quite entertaining and usually high-scoring.

Now there is a low-scoring English football game, Shrovetide Football. Hundreds on each side. a lasting pretty much all day with the goals miles apart. Killing opponents is against the current rules.
