Police were called to reports of an incident on Troost Avenue — less than five miles, or a 10-minute drive, from the training base camp and a little further in the other direction to the team hotel England will use during the tournament — at around 4am on Saturday morning.

In other words nothing to do with the World Cup, just business as usual.

A 5 minute drive, can’t get a more US measurement than that I guess.

…less than five miles, or a 10-minute drive…

I think you mixed that up. 🤷‍♂️

Their news is going to always be in whatever old or weird measurement they use. It's not intended for the world.

Their president has been comparing the size of the reflection pool to skyscrapers. Which is weird because they'll often talk about the scale of a skyscraper in olympic swimming pools. And we know that's always 50m so it's easy to know what the skyscraper is in metric compared to if they used feet. If Trump would just say how many swimming pools the reflection pool is, everyone would be happy.

But anyway, point is; England training camp is about 161 Olympic swimming pools away from the shooting.
