According to the official FIFA rules, there is no maximum limit to the amount of Stoppage time (injury time).  They leave it up to the discretion of the match referee.  Also, when they announce how much time will be added, that is considered a "minimum" amount of extra time, the referee can add further time if he deems necessary.  But I have not seen more than 9 minutes of stoppage time actually announced by the 4th official.

The Golden Goal rule was in effect during the 2002 World Cup. Remember Italy infamously losing to South Korea, in the Round of 16, despite having played better in the whole match? Just because the Koreans got lucky, they scored a goal in Extra time (15 mins) & completely threw Italy out of the competition.\n\nThe Golden Goal rule was introduced to save time, but it was a bad idea becuase all the teams had to do was to score a goal (hence, they were just throwing their bodies at the ball to slog and get a goal). Whereas, without the rule in place, they have to hold on till atleast 15 minutes, meaning they have to attack, but also defend so that the team that has just scored a goal in Extra time, still have to play & not concede goal(s) before the 15 mins are over. \n\nTherefore, in the latter case we have better football played by both sides, as opposed to both just slogging it out in a horrible manner to get the golden goal.

Football is played in two halfs - 45 minutes each. That's the actual time of the game. But the referee keeps track of the time lost during the match to attend to some injuries and fouls. These minutes (ranging anywhere from 1-3 minutes) will be added at the end of each half. \n\nWhen the players commit a foul (play against the rules - like obstructing a player physically, causing harm to the players, etc.), the referee will book them for the offence. An yellow card is a warning. A red card means that the player will be sent off immediately. If a player gets two yellow cards in the same game, he will also be sent off (2 yellows equals a red).

It depends on matches the team has played against other teams. Further explained in the website below from the Federation International of Football Association

They don't use those kindof systems any more, golden goals and silvergoals are like old school, they usually stick to the normal one.u know like 30 minutes of extra time for both teams\nand ofcourse the deadly penalties, for the second one players can play for as long as they want, but 35-38 is the age limit in my opinion.

Those who say that the fourth official determines the stoppage time are incorrect.  The 4th official merely indicates to the public (using his board) the amount of time the referee has decided to add on.\n\nFIFA Law 7 states that the referee acts as timekeeper and must add on time to compensate for time lost through injury, substitution, time wasting, or any other cause.

Yes, and with hefty monetery penalties. Check Article 65 of the FIFA disciplinary code (FDC)http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/i/eu/fifa/do/den.pdf\nThis is a football game not a boxing match.

The 4th Official does keep track on the time & then adds an appropriate number of minutes to the end of the game. Football it still looked upon as an 'art' rather than a scientific sport and so everything has to be done with a bit of passion rather than techinal ability.\n\nAlso, what do you stop the watch for - delayed throws, falls, trips, fouls, thinking, bouncing the ball (from the keeper)?

I can see your point about players who go for a 50-50 tackle, lie down till the Doc comes on, Then the stretcher and goes off and is up on his feet within seconds to get back on the field of play,\nsomething needs to be done about this, but can you really be sure??\nWhat must happen is that EVERY time this happens ALL time wasted must be added to the clock even if it means 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 minutes is added on players and IMPORTANTLY Managers and Coaches will soon put an end too it.\n\nNOW an all together PROBLEM is when,\nA player deliberately tries to fool a Referee into having an opponent sent off for serious foul play,\nThis cannot be tolerated and FIFA should take action and suspend and or Fine these players.

What? 45 second? Are you serious? Might want to wait for the World Cup to finish first.

The Fédération Internationale de Football Association, known worldwide by its acronym FIFA, is the international governing body of football (soccer) and the largest sporting organization in the world. Its headquarters are in Zürich, Switzerland, and its current president is Sepp Blatter\n\nThe Laws of football that govern the game are not solely the responsibility of FIFA; they are maintained by a body called the International Football Association Board (IFAB). FIFA has a 50% representation on its board (four representatives); the other four are provided by the football associations of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, in recognition of the unique contribution to the creation and history of the game of the nations now comprising the U.K.

There is no time limit and the time depends on how even the teams are in talent, if one is considerably better it can end in half an hour, if they are equal it can last  a bit longer than a hour.

Group Stage = 3 Matches.\n1 yellow card / match = Warning\nanother yellow card in any of the group matches = you play this game but u are suspended for the other.\n2 yellow cards in the same game: you are suspended for this game and for the next one too.\n\nhowever, all yellow cards will be wiped off after the group stage and all players will be clean.\n\nhowever, if some one had a red card in the last match of the group, he cannot play the last 16 match ,\n\nhere is the description from bbc's website:\n\n\nSingle bookings from the group stage will not be carried over into the knock-out stage, but any suspensions incurred must be served. \n \nPeter Crouch and Steven Gerrard were both booked in England's opening 1-0 win over Paraguay, while Frank Lampard was shown a yellow card in the second match against Trinidad and Tobago. \n\nIf the trio avoid picking up cards in the final match against Sweden, those cautions would be wiped out. \n\nThe position over the length of bans for sendings-off is not so cut and dried. \n\n"In that case, the length is decided by Fifa on a case-by-case basis," Football Association spokesman Andrin Cooper told BBC Sport.

no it shouldn't be because unlike tennis and american football, football is 90 minutes nearly non-stop.  if they were to introduce instant replay, they would have to stop the game and make the game at least half an hour longer than it is now.  things aren't perfect, and if you lose because of a ref's mistake, take it.  chances are it's happened to the team you just played before too
