There's nowhere to put it that would pass muster with FIFA. They wanted it at the park over I-95, but it won't be done in time.

I was hoping the 11th would be “When Geno Auriemma glares at you from the sideline, here’s what to do”…

Why does this matter? Because U.S. Soccer has a history of thundering from the mount - and being thundered back at by entities that don’t want to hear it.

Crocker doesn’t want to do things that way. Will he be successful where others have failed?

The USMNT, USWNT, and your kid’s youth team are all different. U.S. Soccer is fine with that.
U.S. Soccer sporting director Matt Crocker's grand plan for a "U.S. Way" sounds at first like talking down from the top. In fact, there's a lot less of it than there used to be.
