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.
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.

The more I read the roster, the more I think that Klinsmann has just pulled off the greatest troll job of all time.

Maybe you're joking but I was actually about to post the same thing.
If it's that desperate in the last few minutes, sub in the players that are used to be targets off corners or move a holding mid back and send up a CB.
Roma, being that are used to looking to head corners.
