The Rapids midfield duo of Mark-Anthony Kaye and Kellyn Acosta hope to take the first steps toward qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup with three matches in the coming days.

"We've shown in the past that no matter what kind of adversity has been thrown our way we've been able to adapt," Acosta told reporters on Tuesday. "I think guys are mentally ready, physically ready, and we're going to go out there and get the results we want."
