No. The ref decides based on injury time, subs and other time lost during the second half.
Gosh!!! Why ppl answer without any knowledge of the facts???
From http://www.soccerhelp.com/Soccer_Tips_Dictionary_Terms_S.shtml#stoppage_time
Time added to international games to extend the game to make up for "stoppages" such as injuries, substitution, time wasting, lost ball, etc. This is added by the center referee & he is the only one who knows how much "stoppage time" is being added &, therefore, the only one who knows exactly when the game will end. This is also mistakenly called "Injury Time".
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoppage_time
The referee is the official timekeeper for the match, and may make an allowance for time lost through substitutions, injured players requiring attention or other stoppages. This added time is commonly referred to as stoppage time or injury time. The amount of time is at the sole discretion of the referee, and the referee alone signals when the match has been completed. In matches where a fourth official is appointed, towards the end of the half the referee will signal how many minutes remain to be played, and the fourth official then signals this to players and spectators by holding up a board showing this number.
ALSO:
Italy NEVER lose a final in any competition 4 minutes into stoppage time! Why give WRONG information???
