Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on April 14, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Chris Konopka! The man who guards goals better than a leprechaun guarding his pot of gold. Congrats on being the first American-born soccer player to win the Irish Double—clearly your gloves have some magical luck (or maybe it's just skill)!

From epic saves in Ireland to making history across continents, you've shown us all how goalkeeping is truly done—with style and humor. May this birthday bring you as much joy as denying strikers their glory brings you.

Here's hoping your celebrations today are penalty-free and filled with laughter. Keep kicking—or rather stopping—them strong!
