Total time matters as well...


...at least in terms of TV contracts and viewership. Speeding up the game isn't really where that discussion is though- it's more about eliminating high variance stoppages. The value is in being able to project what window a game will take place within and being able to schedule around it. I don't think, in this country, those conversations really took off until major networks started allotting more time to soccer and saw just how beneficial that set time can be.
