I see them come in from time to time but don't really know the players well enough to know anything about how it works. Can players re-enter the game after being subbed in for? Is there a certain time in which subs come in? How does it affect the clock? Things of that nature.

once a player goes out he cant come back in. generally 3 subs per game, however ive seen more in friendly matches. clock keeps running no matter what. they sub in when there is a break in the flow. player checks in and then when the ball goes out of bounds, or there is a penalty, or anything really that stops the flow of the game, he joins the game. managers usually sub when there is an injury, player gets red or yellow carded, or late in the game for fatigue or tactical reasons.

the game is very simple. i look at our traditional american sports and wonder why do we need all the rules to make things complicated.
