Osvaldo Alonso Moreno (born November 11, 1985) is a Cuban-born footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Minnesota United FC in Major League Soccer (MLS).
He defected from Cuba in 2007 and became a U.S.
citizen in 2012.
During his decade-long career with Seattle Sounders FC, Alonso played as a defensive midfielder who was known for his style of harassing, tackling and covering the field, while getting forward to supply enough offense to be considered a threat.
This style of play had earned the nickname "Honey Badger" from Seattle fans for his fearless, aggressive playing style.
