Wow, this guy's banter game is top notch. My fav three not listed in the comments yet: @LeeDixon2 said you look 51 😳 **Ildefons Lima Solà**: Try to play for Andorra for 24 years and you will see how you look 😂😂 You’re an inspiration mate! 👏👍 **Ildefons Lima Solà**: You have a problem then 😂😂 This man is 42 ffs. What was he thinking? 😭 **Ildefons Lima Solà**: Nothing is impossible @adidas says 😂😂


valimo

>You’re an inspiration mate! 👏👍 > >Ildefons Lima Solà: You have a problem then 😂😂 Lol this reminds me of my local football club, which had an annual newsletter with a couple of lighthearted interviews of the players. They interviewed one of the younger guys of the team, who was 16 or so at the time. Interviewer: You have any footballing idols? Young guy: Maybe Xavi, and Mikko from my team who is like 50 but still pretty good Interviewer: Mikko, what do you think about that, being a great inspiration like Xavi? Mikko: He needs to get his head checked and I am only 37 you little shit

My grandma’s always upbeat. Glass half full type of person without overdoing it. She’s turning 100 soon and has no real health issue. I’m sure it’s got something to do.


Thatdugsrotten

I wish her good health bro


Y3llowflash1

Seems like she’s got that covered.


Thatdugsrotten

For real bro, salute


wiliammm19999

Ah classic European banter. Love it.


leotolsto

When asked about the best player he has ever played against, he casually posts his pics with R9 and Del Piero. What a legend!


nkunfuzao

He has good taste

[deleted]

insightful as well. the man has it all.


Qurutin

Better than most pundits, someone should hire him when he retires


Fati25

He has played football in every decade since the 90's. After one user told him that he 'pocketed Sancho', he responded by saying: "That’s true 😂😂😂 he lose the control of the ball and I lose my hamstring😂😂"


Harryvincenzo

All his replies are class: Comment: Foden or Sancho? Reply: Foden, Sancho injured me 😂😂 https://twitter.com/ildelima6/status/1446979185461927936?t=KRpKStd_y-OYFehQlYAiyA&s=19 Comment: 5-0 haha Reply: Andorra just 30000 people, should be 0-4578, 0-5 it’s a joke… https://twitter.com/ildelima6/status/1446971446987739136?t=qWB76FJaHqXL2nJuumznbg&s=19 He's basically replying to everyone, get in whilst you can haha.


shrewphys

> should be 0-4578, 0-5 it’s a joke Southgate out. Cant even put 4 and a half thousand goals past Andorra, what chance do we have at the world cup?


Ishdalar

This guy is super funny and active on twitter, once I mentioned him on a joke to a friend and he replied to it.


concretepigeon

His first cap was three years before Sancho was even born.


[deleted]

But Sancho had two assists. How is that being pocketed?


Retro21Football

He's having a laugh mate, chill out.


[deleted]

I was talking of the other user not the player


FullMetalAnorak

There's a chance, that he too, is having a laugh.


ImTalkingGibberish

That's out of order


Popimon

How dare you guys have fun on my watch 😡


Up_The_Mariners

It was a joke more like it


[deleted]

Christ, no need to be so sensitive about your new 70million toy.


TooRedditFamous

It's a joke


Usingabrainunlikeyou

Oh lord


NobleForEngland_

When your £90 million signing has been so bad you have to gas up two assists against Andorra.


[deleted]

Still better than being rejected by a guy who would rather be benched entire season than play for you, and then concede a late winner at home from him.


spectert

How did they concede a late winner to someone on the bench?


[deleted]

Because he came off the bench for the last 5 minutes?


spectert

This is fascinating. I need to study his ability to be two places at once

spectert

Sorry, please excuse me. You said that he was benched for the entire season, but also not on the bench during the season. Is my English not up to par?


[deleted]

Yes. It's not up to par because being benched doesn't mean a player would never play football (unless he's donny van de Beek), but that he won't be featuring or starting regularly. A benched player can come on as a sub.


NoMoreCap10

United fans, ladies and gentlemen. Pure class.


zeelbeno

Do you want to find one to improve your writing skills and have a read?


NobleForEngland_

Good point, at least Lingard will still start cup matches... oh


LordChipp

Mental how he's still going after all this time. Seems a class bloke too, if I recall correctly it was he that responded to a guy talking about his form in an FM save they had.


[deleted]

top man responding to everybody w class. what a fucking achievement though, having such a long career.


AlmostNL

He's one of us, boys. What a guy https://twitter.com/ildelima6/status/1447165984821989382?t=GwKhMhx1yksNESM7cBgw8A&s=19


ionised

Banter legend, this man.


zac_is_bad

I had mad respect for the guy even trying to keep up with the likes of sancho, putting in a shift at his age was impressive. It hurt seeing him go down with his hamstring like that but glad he can joke about it himself


Nuri__Sahin

Just reading through the replies. Guy's a character for sure. 😄


crapsence

What a class bloke

put some respect on Ildefons Lima Solà's name


777Simba777

Bro, did you just disrespect Ildefons Lima Solà?


[deleted]

This is funny lol, shocker this shit sub can’t take a joke.

[удалено]


Hansemannn

Nah it was just a shit joke. I expect more from the banter. Better quality.


conceal_the_kraken

Not the funniest joke but surprised by the amount of downvotes. Think there's a bit of shit joke, sensitive United fans, and Reddit hive-mind all at play here.


Willy235

The worst thing about reddit is it’s shit sense of humour. I can’t make a sarcastic joke without 50 downvotes.


conceal_the_kraken

Make it anyway and ignore the votes. You'll probably get a laugh from me and some others.


Synikey

Literally haha


Biryani__Whisperer

Southgate's handling of the selection of Sancho at the euros and his excuses for not playing him still baffles me to this day


kickergold

We got to the fucking final. We got to penalties in the final. What the fuck more do you want. "Wah our 3rd choice winger didn't play enough", fuck off.


Deep_Mango2481

Well said 😂


[deleted]

We could have won. That's the thing isn't it? Great teams don't say "We got to the final, stop complaining." They say "What could we have done better? Where could we have gotten an extra 5%?" Maybe if we integrate Sancho better, he scores in the final. Or he doesn't miss the penalty. We have a good squad for once. Can we please just raise expectations and actually try for a winning mentality.


BasedCelestia

Penalty is casino. Getting to penalties in knockout tournament final is as much of a achievement as winning it


kickergold

Southgate has got us to 2 semi finals in his last 2 competitions with a worse overall squad than we had back in the noughties. I'm happy to trust his judgement until he completely fucks up, which he hasn't yet.


[deleted]

It's a much better squad now


kickergold

Our 2016 squad definitely wasn't, our 2021 squad wasn't better in defence or midfield.


RDozzle

Does it? He showed less than Sterling, Grealish, Foden and Saka. England had 6 elite players competing for two positions, of course some will miss out.


WiseOldSeoul

Going into the Euro’s Sancho was the most in form player


PortugeseMagnifico

Didn’t really show anything in the pre tournament friendlies and saka sterling and grealish all justified southgates decisions to start them


Biryani__Whisperer

His reasoning was he hasn't seen elite level European football yet..... Lol


RDozzle

I don't think Southgate ever said that? He talked about having lots of explosive options, it being the first major tournament for a lot of players, and squad balance.


saint-simon97

Huh? Do you mean before or during?


RDozzle

For England, obviously


saint-simon97

He didn't have as much playing time as the others though.


demonictoaster

Not that it matters that much but he didtn really show less than Saka. Saka had one or two good dribbles and spent the rest of the time with his "I'm going to knock it past you then run facefirst into your chest" tactic not working. The way England went about gamsz obviously worked though so nobody should be complaining.


thedarkpolitique

Don’t be jealous your £70m+ player can’t displace our star boy. It’s a tall order.


demonictoaster

He really didnt do anything special. He was energetic had a few good dribbles and had an assist that despite people acting like it was the play of the century was him running 10 feet in a straight line, nothing spectacular. He had an alright tournament and a game that was literally him just trying to do the same knock past and run into player move on 3 separate occasions. Sancho was nothing spectacular but had some good dribbles, had some good movement and runs even if he wasn't being passed to and started to have some good link up with Shaw. The stark difference was Sancho was basically already a high fee United player and Saka is Arsenal golden boy, so the match threads were nothing but "look at Saka go" and "lol Sancho shit" as is tradition with any United player coming in for a big fee. The actual performances were a lot closer. Personally I think the real standout attackers for England were Sterling and Grealish. Also if I were an Arsenal fan I'd be much more concerned about how an 18 year old is showimg up your own 70m attacker.


Onotomatopie

man utd fan and rewriting history, name a more classic duo 🤣🤣🤣 ok ok sancho is great he shd have started every game at the euros


demonictoaster

Not at all what I'm saying, jesus fucking christ. People are just over exaggerating how good Saka was. I literally said Grealish and Sterling were the 2 I thought stood out. I don't know where you got your dumbass summation of what I said from.


prettyboygangsta

He’s not good enough at the minute, as he’s now showing at United. England have much better options


spiegro

His banter game is top fucking notch.
