What is the deal with that? Is this the only sport with a clock where this occurs?

Estimated time added to offset delays, injuries, etc. Hence "stoppage time" or "additional time"

They add extra time at the end of the halves to make up for wasted time during injuries and other delaying tactics

It was a real question. I don't follow soccer. It falls somewhere just above hockey and bbelow bowling for me.

Rugby also has a clock kept by the referee with extra "injury time" added at the end. But the game is 80 minutes instead of 90 minutes.

Agree but I think just the exact time would be implemented first and more plausible and accecptable to the purists

It is time that the ref has put on for serious stoppages of play during the half. It is used in many Euro sports.

Games would end up being much longer, in 90 minutes the ball is usually only on the pitch in play for about 60-65 minutes.

It's actually the dumbest thing I've seen in sports. How are teams suppose to manage their play when they have no idea when the whistle is going to blow at the end the game?

Answer 1 - It's soccer, so who cares?

Answer 2 - My guess would be that many of the poorer countries can't afford clocks which can be stopped when play is delayed during regulation time.
