message: What's the point of stoppage time? --User: Arniep
Not sure about your question, but in soccer, the referee holds the official watch. Unlike football and basketball, the clock is rarely stopped for fouls, balls out of bounds ("into touch," in soccer parlance), goals, etc. At the end of the half, the stadium clock, which has been running since the beginning of play, will vary somewhat from the referee's watch. The amount of time that the referee has remaining on his watch is called "stoppage time," i.e., time added on for stoppages. Even if he has indicated that there will be a certain number of minutes added (which is now usually communicated to one of the assistant officials and shown to the players and spectators), he can add even more time if further stoppages occur during "stoppage time."
One of the oddities of this is that a goal could occur at, say, the 47th minute of the first half (about 2 minutes into stoppage time), which would "officially" be less than 45 minutes into the game. At the start of the second half, time starts out at 45 minutes (rather than recycling to zero), so that if a goal were scored in the first minute of the same match, it would be recorded as having occurred "before the first" goal. To alleviate confusion, match reports will typically give a time in the form of "47+" if a goal occurs during stoppage time, but "46" if it occurs during the first minute of the second half.
In all, it would be better to just keep official time on the stadium scoreboard and let the referee worry about how many fouls have been committed, how many yellow cards have been issued to which players, etc. However, I believe many referees like having the ability to use their discretion to add or not add time at the end of a game. Nonetheless, this can create controversy, especially if a goal is either scored or disallowed at or near the end of the game. 71.131.236.77 23:58, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A cleaner "fix" would be to report goals in stoppage time differently. Using the example above, the first hafl stoppage time goal might be reported as 45+2, making it more obviously a first half stoppage time goal (though the 47+ does indicate that, albeit a bit less obviously).  That said, there are substantially more vexing issues in the game to deal with (dives at the top of the list). Moretz (talk) 15:56, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I removed the asterisks from the USA 1999 win and 2003 third place in the "all time performance" list since there is no explanation of what they mean.  If there is some reason for them, please add them back with appropriate explanatory notes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moretz (talk • contribs) 19:02, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Both Canada and the United States are listed as taking 3rd place in 2003. Did this have something to do with it? I couldn't find any info on the page specific to the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.160.5 (talk) 17:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The US beat Canada 3-1 in the consolation game in 2003, so the US would seem to be unqualified as third-place claimants (not what that team was hoping for, I'm sure).  The US also beat China 2-0 in the 1995 consolation game.  The only odd thing about the 2003 Cup was that the intended hosts didn't host (until the next cup). Moretz (talk) 16:17, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I would like to see something here about how the team of match officials has gone from a mix of males and females (even male-dominated, I think, in 1991) to exclusively female. Deliberate strategy or are there just more qualified female officials available now? The only information I found on FIFA's site (I didn't search long though!) was the numbers for the early tournaments and that Ingrid Jonsson in 1995 was the first woman to referee a FIFA final. The quote at 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup officials certainly seems to assume that officials now must be female, but is that an actual rule? 85.226.206.229 (talk) 08:13, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The top goalscorers section seems a bit long. Most competitions include the top ten scorers, including any ties that would put a player in the top ten. Is there any objection to shortening this list down to top ten? Jay eyem (talk) 15:54, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No. When the editor did it they referenced the Men's article including everyone with 5 or more goals and they were adjusting this one to match. I was going to go check that because it didn't seem correct but didn't have a chance. I just looked and it seems to be top ten. So I would say this should be top ten as well.

replies: text: Ah ok, looks like a recent addition. Probably good to cut down to top ten then. I'll go ahead and do that now. Jay eyem (talk) 17:24, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
