FIFA announced today that Slavko Vinčić will officiate the World Cup final.

Interestingly, it was the Slovenian referee who refereed Argentina's last defeat at the World Cup. The now-famous match at the start of the group stage at the 2022 World Cup against Saudi Arabia.

21h AM

Spain has won five of the six finals they have played in major tournaments (European Championship and World Cup). 

She has won each of the four finals she has played in the 21st century. Interestingly, she won her only world championship title as the reigning European champion.

The "red fury" suffered their only defeat in the finals at the 1984 European Championship.

20h AM

A jersey worn by Pele sold for almost five million dollars.

19h AM

15, 20, 30 or more minutes - how long will the World Cup half-time break last?

FIFA has finally given an answer.

18h AM

Lionel Messi completed 10 successful dribbles against England, becoming only the second player to do so in a World Cup match against the Three Lions in the last 60 years.

Before him, only Diego Armando Maradona managed to do that in 1986.

16h AM

Sunday's final will see the most efficient team in the championship, Argentina, and the best defense, Spain, meet.

The "Gauchos" have scored 19 goals in the World Cup so far, while the "Red Fury" have kept six clean sheets and only conceded once. 

14h AM

A big recognition for Slovenia - the former Yugoslav republic will be an important part of the final.

14h AM

No football today, and then the final outcome of the World Cup, which started on the now distant 11th of June.

First, France and England will decide which team will take 3rd place tomorrow (Saturday, 23 p.m.), and then (although in the past few days) all roads lead to New York for the grand finale.

Spain or Argentina - the throne at MetLife awaits.
