Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on November 11, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Osvaldo Alonso! Age is just a number—kinda like the goals your opponents never scored when you patrolled Seattle Sounders' midfield. Since kicking off your MLS journey in 2009, you've bossed the field and earned legendary status faster than fans yelled "Ozzie!" every time you tackled.

From fierce captaincy to hoisting the MLS Cup trophy, your tenacity became iconic. May today's party be as unforgettable as all those blocked shots and intercepted passes that left strikers bewildered for so many seasons. Cheers to another fantastic year—you've proven Cubans don't only shine with cigars but on soccer fields too!
