Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on September 24, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Andrew Jacobson! From your first kick with DC United in 2009 to dominating midfield battles across the MLS, you've always known how to keep fans on their toes—mostly because we never knew if you'd score a goal or pull off an epic slide tackle. Either way, you made soccer look easy (and occasionally hilarious).

Here's wishing you another year filled with as much success and laughter as your best moments on the pitch. May your birthday cake be sweeter than any victory celebration—and may no referee ever give you a yellow card for excessive partying!
