text: I cannot believe people answered football(soccer) has timeouts...no it doesnt. it has half time...if someone gets injured or play is held up...time is added to the end of the half by the referee...called added time etc...so the game does not stop with timeouts at all...players try to waste time to get their breath...slow play for tactical advantage, and thats the only time it will stop...\n\n- hope this helps.
