Referee Elfath chosen over Marciniak for Argentina–England semi-final

American referee Ismail Elfath, born in Morocco, has been appointed to officiate the Argentina–England World Cup semi-final instead of Poland's Szymon Marciniak, whom Polish fans had expected to get the assignment. Elfath has a controversial record — an official complaint was filed against him with FIFA following his first match at the previous World Cup. The appointment has sparked strong reactions among Polish football supporters.
