Szymon Marciniak will not referee a second World Cup final in his career. The article recalls that in 1990, Polish linesman Michał Listkiewicz had to flee with the other referees after the final, as enraged Argentine players threatened the officials with death, saying: "The mafia in Mexico will deal with you."
