Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on October 11, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Tony Beltran! You're the defender who made attackers reconsider their career choices. From lifting that glorious MLS Cup with Real Salt Lake in 2009 to proudly representing Team USA in 2013, you've always defended goals better than most defend their dessert plates at birthday parties.

Here's hoping your special day is filled with fewer slide tackles and more cake slices. May you continue celebrating life like it's an endless championship season—because legends like you never go out of style. Cheers to another year of greatness, laughter, and reminding everyone why defenders truly have all the fun!
