FIFA has appointed Slovenian referee Slavko Vincić to officiate the World Cup final, ending the tournament run of Poland's Szymon Marciniak after just two matches. The decision was seen as a blow to Marciniak, who had been considered a strong candidate for a key assignment. FIFA released a video showing Marciniak's reaction to learning of Vincić's appointment.
