Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on April 06, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Herculez Gomez! A man who effortlessly danced from MLS pitches to the bold arenas of Santos Laguna. Ever since 2012, defenders across Mexico still wake up sweating at night picturing your lightning-fast footwork and sneaky goals.

You proudly joined Team USA in 2007—and stayed memorable ever after—scoring clutch goals that thrilled fans everywhere. Whether wearing stars-and-stripes or club colors, you knew precisely how to charm the crowd (and torment opposing keepers!). Today may be another candle on your cake—but legend has it every year makes Hercules... excuse me—I mean "Herculez," even stronger! Cheers!
