Below is a partial list of players (subject to change) expected to participate at the
Nike Global Challenge beginning Friday in Hillsboro, Ore.
Chicago's Wayne Blackshear has been identified by both the Nike Global Challenge and the adidas Nations event as a potential participant, so it will be interesting to see where he ends up Friday.
The Nike Global Challenge pits three squads of American stars in an eight-team bracket also featuring challengers from Brazil, Canada, Nigeria and France, as well as a roster made up of players from Asian countries.
Action begins at 2 p.m. from Hillsboro's Liberty High School. The championship game is scheduled for 8 p.m. Sunday night.
