Growing up in football-mad Texas, Kellyn Acosta took up a different discipline. Coached by a former Brazilian pro, Acosta ascended through the FC Dallas Academy to star for the professional side before breaking through with the U.S. Men’s National Team at age 20.

  1. Fellow Texas Native! Go FC Dallas! Wow these videos are so cool! These guys are going to win the World Cup for USA 2026! Hope I can reach their ranks one day… a man can dream.

  2. I love these videos but Acosta is way overrated. He is not better than Parks McKinney Adams or Alfredo Morales or even old man Danny Williams. Shit Cristian Roldan is better than him.

  3. Sometimes its not all about straight ability and being a “phenom,” Acosta grows at an alarming rate. Coaches always prefer someone they can grow into a role rather than some freak awesome player. He has a chance to be a utility player. But we shall see.

  4. I've been the exact same as his life style. Grew up in TX. Football has been big and soccer underlooked. I'm hoping to do something for the USA mnt sometime. That's my dream.

  5. This kid sucks. I’m always disappointed when I see him on the pitch. He might play in Europe but they will never put him on the pitch. He’ll always be sitting on the bench waiting and waiting

  6. Coming from someone who played against you 4-5 years back you need to go to Europe wtf are you still doing here. Too comfortable? I heard you were being looked at after u-17 World Cup from European clubs so FC Dallas panicked and signed you …you missed that chance don’t keep waiting…..or you won’t develop anymore.

  7. Crazy that their high school stadium looks just like the college one here at CSU in Fort Collins. Texans love them some football! Now let's convert them to the proper kind of football.

  8. man…that's what they need…every kid that wants to pursuit something..you gotta find a mentor..in this case a brazilian ..hes gonna tell you the ins and out of the game…is an
    advantage…and a pleasure
