NASA ‘faked England 1966 World Cup win’

What do you think of this then? I found it when browsing the net:

A leading ex-NASA scientist has gone on record to confirm one of the longest-standing conspiracies in the football world: that the American space agency faked footage of the 1966 tournament in order to imply an England win.

Dr Robert Wellington – who worked for the agency throughout the sixties and seventies – spoke out following ongoing speculation on the internet.

“We needed a practice run for the moon thing,” he said, from his home in Florida. “And the soccer world cup seemed just the job. We wanted to see if we could delude an entire nation that they could achieve something that was frankly unimaginable. And it worked perfectly.”

“But we had absolutely no idea that it would become a recurring delusion,” he added.

The ‘live broadcast’ of the famous 1966 final was, in fact, pre-recorded at Shepperton Studios, then best known for the Boulting Brothers series of comedy films.

Personally, I don't believe it. What do you think?

Wasn't there a ton of fans at the game?

I pretty sure it would be hard to trick the people at the game there was another outcome. Why would you practice on a football game? Wouldn't you do something that is closer to a moon landing?

That's the biggest pile of sh@t I've read in a long while.

Sorry that's all.
