That very thing happened in when Germany and Austria played. Knowing ahead of time that a German win would qualify both nations to the knockout stage, the teams did just that. Germany won a goal that was scored after just 10 minutes and as a result eliminated Algeria.
Also, having the games played at the same time will add to the drama. The goalkeeper on both teams wears different colors than his respective teammates as to distinguish himself from his teammates and the other field players, according to FIFA rules.
This is especially crucial on set pieces, such as corner kicks, when players bunch up in the penalty box. He is also the only player allowed to use his hands. The short answer is 90 minutes.
The long answer is not really. Matches do last 90 minutes on a clock that counts up. The clock also never stops. Therefore, the referee keeps track of time that is wasted and tacks on a few minutes at the end of each half.
These few minutes -- known as injury time or stoppage time -- usually lasts a few minutes and is displayed by an official located on the sidelines. However, there is a problem with this if, for example, the away team's second kit is the same colour as the home team's first kit - therefore creating a kit clash.
It is crucial that players from opposing teams wear different coloured shirts so they are able to distinguish themselves from one another correctly. Premier League rules state: "When playing in league matches the players of each participating club shall wear a strip which is of a sufficient contrast that match officials, spectators and television viewers will be able to distinguish clearly between the two teams.
If an away team's second kit is the same colour as the home team's home kit, they would be made to wear their third kit which, ideally, is different to both the opposition team's home and away strip.
Additionally, if a visiting team's primary kit is different to the home team's home strip — such as if Chelsea who play in blue were to visit Liverpool at Anfield who play in red , both teams would be allowed to play in their respective first kits.
If they want to play with their primary uniform, which they usually will, the other team has to go to its secondary uniform. Using our teams above, this means that goalies in a game between Brazil and Colombia in Brazil could wear anything but yellow or red, but if it were in Colombia, they could wear anything but yellow and blue.
This complexity scales up and up when you consider a World Cup with 24 or 32 teams and the up to seven games against unknown opponents that teams have to be prepared for. This way, whether Brazil plays against Colombia at home or away, the two goalies combined will be guaranteed to have at least two shirts with color other than yellow, blue, and red. In the World Cup, referees had a choice of five different colors to help them stay away from any of the colors the teams and goalies might have chosen to wear.
