Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on July 09, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Alecko Eskandarian! May your celebrations be as legendary as that unforgettable MLS Cup MVP performance with D.C. United in 2004—minus the yellow cards for excessive partying, of course.

From electrifying goals to hilarious goal celebrations (we still chuckle at your infamous Red Bull energy drink moment), you've always known how to entertain both on and off the pitch. Even though you hung up your cleats back in 2010 after stints with Toronto FC and LA Galaxy, you're forever scoring points in our hearts.

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, joy, and zero penalty kicks missed!
