    They may halt their run thinking it may be a team mate.... therefore their run is impeded.

    I always thought that yelling 'mine' fell under the very broad but necessary unsporting behaviour category of the laws of the game, hence why it is usually punished with an automatic yellow.

    Edit: Specifically where it says if a player "verbally distracts an opponent during play or at a restart" then it is unsporting behaviour.

    Copa's have nothing on Pantofola's, Copa's are mass produced in a chinese production line, while the Pantofola's are hand made in italy, and while they have started to introduce more colours, they still always retain the retro look. I have worn them for going on 6 years now and honestly the best boots to will EVER wear, the only ones i have found coming close are Puma King Final i SL.

    p.s obviously a question for the older chaps not the softer new generation lads
    I still prefer the long laces, the feel it gave the boot with the lace rapped around and done up on the side.

    not actually true.

    there are two copas, the ones made in scheinfeld, germany, and the cheaper ones made in indonesia

    the german ones are still hand made as far as i know.

    the pantofolas are tops though, if you're a squillionaire.

    yep. getting copas for around $110 on prodirect >>>>>> spending double-to-triple the amount on a pair of lazzarinis or whatever they're called.

    the "mine" rule - if you disrupt an opponent i believe it's a foul/possible card for reason mentioned above. if an opponent isn't around & you're just saying it to your own players, and no one from the opposition is affected, it's all good. try telling this to old bobby in local league football though - iirc he's given two yellow cards to westlakes players in the last two years for (1) keeper saying "leave it" to his own players with no opposition around (he also gave a penalty, not an indirect freekick, for this), & (2) defender saying "mine" to his fellow defender with no opposition around (he gave an indirect freekick in the beckham zone)

    however, if the pantofolas last like copas do, i would see it as money well spent

    i am still on a pair i have owned for four years, that have been treated like shit, left wet in bags, filthy etc

    the calling stuff is such official dickheadery - the blokes that call this stuff are the kind of blokes who pull the wings off flies

    Does Puma still make "Kings"
    my foot never fit in a copa - too wide.

    though i did love how the "good" players would wrap the laces around the heel studs not the middle of the foot.
    (they also had one warpped round their head too)

    yeah Puma made Kings but I always felt the Copa's were a better boot than the kings

    some people use it to hold socks up or wrap it around their boots to stop their laces from coming undone (gay).
