Why call in Alan Gordon when Wondo is basically the same type of player, but, you know, much better?

Good to see Kljestan finally get called in.
This. And this.
Possible reasoning on Gordo:

This actually makes a lot of sense in view of Klinsmann's comments in an interview last week. He said if he was faced with needing a last-minute goal in Antigua he would do what it takes, including throwing a lot of big bodies in the box. If you look at the Quakes goals, the last-minute goals are being scored by Gordon and Lenhart, not Wondo. Wondo is a finesse poacher - he doesn't sacrifice his body for a goal. Gordon will give his all up to the last second of injury time.

You know how you can avoid this?
Call in guys who can fricking score goals before we get to the 85th minute so we're not scrambling for a goal against fricking Antigua.

If we needed a big body for set pieces at the end of a game, I'd MUCH rather have Gooch on the roster solely for this purpose than damn near anyone in the pool.
