.........how like Mudcat,........., the competition can be.

Football players are clearly identified by their team strip with numbers on the back. You don't get people with hoodies pulled up over their heads running onto the pitch, kicking the ball out of play then disappearing, leaving the two teams to throw punches at each other. On Mudcat the interlopers may even change their disguise and run on from the other side of the pitch to cause more mayhem.

On the football field, both the players and spectators know who the match officials are. Unlike Mudcat, the referee and linesmen don't wade in and start kicking the ball for one team against the other.
