LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. -- Bryan Arguez has a lot to be excited about these days.
In the past two months, Arguez has gone from playing in the NASL with the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers, to getting signed by the Montreal Impact, to getting called into his first camp with the U.S. Under-23 men's national team.
It has been a run of good fortune for the 22-year-old Arguez, who has endured his share of disappointments, but it's also been a process that has made him more appreciative and hungry.
"It's been exciting to go from where I was in the beginning at the highest level, going down to NASL and now getting another opportunity," said Arguez, whose nickname is Mooki. "I'm excited about it, and I'm excited to take advantage of every opportunity I get."

U.S. Under-17 vs. Brazil: Your Running Commentary
The Nike Friendlies conclude today with the marquee match we've been waiting for, the United States taking on Brazil (5pm, Fox Soccer Channel).
We weren't originally going to post a live commentary on this game, in part because I've just gone on vacation and nobody else is around, but with the United States up 3-1 at halftime and putting on a show, I'm sure there are plenty of USA fans eager to talk about the next generation of up and coming American stars.
If you are watching today's match, and want to talk about that first-half display, as well as the rest of the action from Florida, feel free to share your thoughts, opinions and some play-by-play in the comments section below.
Enjoy the action.
