The referee for Sunday's World Cup final between defending champions Argentina and Spain will be Slavko Vinicic, 46, from Slovenia. He also refereed the Champions League final two years ago. FIFA announced Slavko's selection on Friday. Argentina, which is playing in its second consecutive final, will face a European rival in the title clash. The European referee has been selected amid controversy over some of the referee's decisions. Some teams have accused the referee of favoring Argentina and its captain Lionel Messi. Slavko has played three games in this World Cup and has shown seven yellow cards and one red card.
