FIFA have provided ball in play data for the 2014 and 2015 World Cups.
Today is the start of round 2 of the group games for #WWC2015.

In 2014 the profile of ball in play was:

The range of ball in play time was from the 63 minutes in the England v Italy game to 53 minutes in the opening Brazil v Croatia  game.
