Howard Webb on how MLS is getting VAR right and what other leagues can learn

If there's one man to speak to about the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) project, it's Howard Webb. A former FIFA World Cup final and Premier League referee, Webb has been involved since the beginning when Major League Soccer became one of the first leagues in the world to use it.

"If you say to any top official 'you can go into the game with VAR or without it,' I don't think there's any referee in the world at that level who would say 'you know something, I'm just going to fly by the seat of my pants and hope I can get it right,'" Webb told ESPN.
