Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on June 01, 1970)

Happy birthday to the legendary Alexi Lalas—master defender, hair icon, and soccer analyst extraordinaire! We fondly remember 1995 when you wowed Italy at Calcio Padova and earned the US Soccer Athlete of the Year accolade. They called it defending; we call it high-speed artistry with a sprinkle of epic beard style.

Now as a top TV soccer analyst, your sharp wit shines brighter than stadium lights. Your enthusiastic takes remind fans that retirement hasn't slowed your competitiveness—just transferred it from pitch to studio. Joyful celebrations to you, Alexi, whose energy remains as bold and timeless as that unforgettable goatee!
