Guess which Designated Player's birthday is today?
It's Flaco's birthday!
Name: Álvaro Fernández
Nickname: El Flaco
DOB: October 11, 1985
Squad Number: 15
Position: Midfielder
Club: Seattle Sounders (2010-now)
National Team: Uruguay (11 caps)
Special Talent: He has the best facial expressions on the team.
...see?
Everyone loves him.
(Well, not everybody I guess) MOVE.
First goal of this season. It was against the Union to tie the game 1-1 in stoppage time.
Since Zak's injury, he's been playing mostly on the left, and doing an excellent job. He has 8 MLS goals (9 in all competitions) this season, making him the second-highest scorer for the Sounders in 2011.
The latest MLS Castrol Index (as of October 6th)
has him in first place. So congrats on that, too! :)
He also sometimes plays for Uruguay's national team.
...where they do this, apparently. (jk!)
Hasn't scored a goal yet for his NT, but I'm sure he will.
He and Fredy like doing things together.
...like combining for goals, for one.
And eating breakfast (with Hurtado and Rosales)
(They also went to Canada and made fun of Mauro but he seemed like he enjoyed the joke. ;) )
:33
(OT: I miss the blue kits...)
Happy Birthday, you wonderful person. Hope it's a good one. =)
