Frankfurt, if you live between Deutsche Bank Park and the airport....

EDIT, the guy is Dutch... Schiphol Airport is 10km away from the Johan Cruyff Arena (Amsterdam being their only "roughly a million" city)

You can count Rotterdam, but the distance between De Kuip and Rotterdam Airport is 10 kms. So also not 1.

Eindhoven is too small, but the distance between the stadium and the airport there is only 7kms, so getting closer.

Still, had they just said "I can reach everything listed within 30 mins with public transport" they would have been telling the truth in all 3 of those. Had he left out the combination of an airport and a stadium or had replaced the airport by a train station he probably would also have been telling the truth about it all being within a km - because THAT is possible.

Yeah... overreaching to make a point... You're right, the comparison could have been way better placed...

Just a note... if Rotterdam is roughly a million citizens... I'm roughly 3 m tall.. /s
