You don't have to imagine to find a sport with greater running distances, match lengths, and goals-without-a-goalie: Just go watch an Aussie Rules Football match.

They have roughly 2 hours of play, and it's not unknown for players to run over 11 miles a match.

20min quarters with stoppages

120 interchanges per side for the match

different, but still equally intense as FIFA Football

I imagine there aren't a lot of drawn games?

The scoring for Australian football is dramatically different. The final score in the last australian football grand final was 79 to 74. Its closer to basketball scores than it is soccer.

2010 Grand Final was a draw.

As a Geelong fan I enjoyed neither St Kilda or Collingwood winning for the week before the rematch.
