Ever heard of a game that ends not when the clock says it ends, but when an official says it ends? Strangest game I’ve ever seen in my life. And players faking injuries all over the field.

Actually you described American Football, sort of anyway

In a regular soccer game, which normally lasts 90 minutes if there is a tie, the two teams have to play again a week later.

In an American football game, 10.5 minutes of actual play occur during one clock hour of time, and more than three hours of TV time.

In soccer, it's about 90 minutes of play in about 100 minutes of time and less than two hours of TV time.

And guess what? You may not know much about American football, but American football officials can take time off the clock or put more time on the clock if they decide to.

Ever heard of a game where some umpire decides where the strike zone is?

Ever heard of a game where some referee decides when there has been excessive celebration or taunting ?
