Quiet Kellyn Acosta is a head-down, hard-working true central midfielder that loves competition. He owns his spot in the Colorado Rapids starting XI and is now aiming to do the same with the emerging new U.S. Men’s National Team.
With all the potential youthful talent in this group of Yanks, he has his work cut out for him. This past Thursday (October 11th), before an energized crowd in Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium and a national television audience, Acosta made it known that he is all business. Earning his 20th cap and another start, his gritty play and fast pace against a formidable Colombia side earned him plenty of praise from his both his fans and mentors.
