Blake Brettscheider Q&A
WASHINGTON ? It?s always an uphill battle for any Supplemental Draft pick to make a roster, let alone make an impact in MLS.
But D.C. United rookie forward Blake Brettschneider has managed to do just that in 2011, becoming one of only a few Supplemental picks to see significant action this season. In 11 appearances (eight starts), the University of South Carolina product has a goal and two assists.
MLSsoccer.com caught up with the rookie as he prepares for the final 10 games of the season.

United's trust in Willis' big-game mentality pays off
WASHINGTON ? On August 13, with Bill Hamid serving a red card suspension, D.C. United third ?keeper Joe Willis recorded a shutout in a 4-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps in his MLS debut. Eight days later, Willis took a hard luck 1-0 loss on Aug. 21 against Sporting Kansas City.
The performances proved that Willis can hack it in MLS. But if it weren?t for ties to DC assistant coach Chad Ashton, Willis may have never made his way to the nation?s capital at all.

Unexpected ride continues for DC United rookie Willis
WASHINGTON ? When the D.C. United coaching staff gave Joe Willis the opportunity to make his first pro start against the Vancouver Whitecaps on Aug. 13, the risk paid unexpected dividends.
The third-round pick from this year?s SuperDraft has shown his mettle in two recent appearances after toiling as the club?s third goalkeeper most of the season, and the DC camp has certainly taken notice.

D.C. United introspective ahead friendly visit from Ajax
WASHINGTON ? While D.C. United still have a game on the schedule this weekend, the friendly nature of Sunday?s matchup with newly crowned Dutch champions Ajax provides time to be introspective about the season so far.

DC assistant Chad Ashton said. ?If you?d asked us before the beginning of the season if we would be sitting us in this spot, we probably would have taken it. We?re right there ? striking distance. At the same time, we?re probably not that far from the bottom, either.?
