Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on July 22, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Alex! From your first kick with Seattle Sounders FC back in 2012, you've been dazzling us all—proving midfield magic isn't just a myth. Your moves on the pitch have always been smoother than birthday cake frosting and more memorable than grandma's karaoke rendition of "Sweet Caroline."

Here's to celebrating another year of epic assists, unforgettable goals, and that timeless charm you bring to every match. May your day be filled with laughter louder than stadium cheers and joy brighter than floodlights at CenturyLink Field. Keep kicking strong—you're not getting older; you're just leveling up!
