VAR in the Premier League is likened to 'circumcising a mosquito' by former soccer player Taylor Twellman in bizarre comments during MLS match

Taylor Twellman has come up with a bizarre analogy during an MLS match broadcast between St. Louis SC and LAFC, comparing the way in which VAR is often used in the Premier League to 'circumcising a mosquito'.

Commenting alongside Jake Zivin on Apple TV's transmission of Wednesday night's 0-0 tie, the former U.S. men's national team (USMNT) striker said 'different countries and different leagues, they look at offside in a different way' than in America, where VAR was introduced in MLS games in 2017.

'Look at England. It's like circumcising a mosquito when it comes to looking at VAR'.
