Yesterday at the New Jersey stadium, passions will boil as the Argentina and Spain national teams clash in the World Championship final.

The decisive match will be officiated by referee Slavko Vinčič, who has previously whistled a match marked by the shocking defeat of the Argentine team.

The English press reminds that the last time the Slovenian ran in a match involving a South American team was in 2022, when Lionel Scaloni's squad unexpectedly lost 1-2 to Saudi Arabia in the group stage of the World Championship.

It is said that at that time, the strict refereeing style of S. Vinčič completely threw Argentina's players off their rhythm.

According to the media, the Spain national team will attempt to take advantage of the quirks of a referee they know better.
