Did not see this one coming - at all.
So based on what I have seen in another forum, there is a lot of history in this appointment.

- First Americans to be onfield officials (referee, AR1, AR2) for a senior World Cup final
- Back to back World Cup finals with American officials on the crew (Ismail Elfath was fourth official and Katy Nesbitt was fifth official/reserve assistant for the men's final)
- Nesbitt is the first non-VAR referee to be on the officiating crew for a men's and women's World Cup final
- First time since 1934 that a referee has led a crew in a senior World Cup semifinal and final
- First time since 2005 that ANY referee has led a crew in the semis and finals in any World Cup - youth or senior
