Tradition. That's just how they do it. Lets the referee decide exactly when the game ends. And as far as I know, it is the referee and only the referee who decides how much time is added. I wonder if refs keep a stopwatch (or stopwatch mode on a wrist watch), that they use to keep track of "stoppage time" during the match; then once it gets close to the end of each half, they convey their total to the sideline official who displays it on the board. Hublot is supplying the boards with stoppage time and connected watches. I think the MSRP of the consumer version of these watches is about US $6000.

Wow, that’s a lot of power! I read a sports analytics book that cited stoppage time (the amount of time a referee adds at the end) as this single biggest contributor to home field advantage in any sport. If the home team was trailing, referees would allow more stoppage team than if the home team was protecting a lead. that's only the case if the referee is biased toward the home team. which might be the case in lower level competitions where perhaps the home team is in charge of supplying the refs but I would think FIFA would aim to supply unbiased officials. (then again, corruption is rampant, so who knows)

But there certainly are in club competitions across the world and ref bias regarding stoppage time is pretty well documented.

Australia vs Nigeria was wild! just looking at the box score, 3 of the 5 goals in the game were scored in stoppage time. 45+1 and 90+10 for Australia and Nigeria's first goal (to tie it up) came at 45+6 kind of makes me curious how much stoppage time was announced for each half; though of course I believe extra stoppage time is added after goals (especially if there was VAR review to check for offsides and whatnot)

(but the first goal added time to that) the second half was 11.

South Africa and Argentina finish at 2-2 in today's early match. Will feel more like a loss for South Africa as they were up 2-0 and then gave up 2 goals within 5 minutes (74' & 79'). Argentina's first goal was an absolute banger, worth watching the highlights just for that.

And Vlatko.
Also, I forget Andi Sullivan is on the pitch half the time, she's such a non-factor.

Panama out after losing to Jamaica 1-0. France beat Brazil 2-1 in what was an excellent match to watch - Brazil fought back to tie it after an early Le Sommer goal, but made the mistake of leaving Renard unmarked on a late corner. Jamaica vs Brazil will be interesting- a must win for Brazil but Jamaica only need a draw to go through, and will have their star Shaw back (out vs Panama due to red card in their draw with France).

In the lone Group G match yesterday, Italy were playing well then defensively imploded, with Sweden scoring 3 goals in roughly 7 minutes right at the end of the first half. Finished at 5-0. Amanda Ilestedt had two nearly identical header goals off a corner. She's a centre back and now has 3 goals (the other also a header vs South Africa), putting her tied for first in the golden boot race. Even if unlikely to stay there, it is still fun to see a CB up there with the strikers!
