The FA has confirmed that Wembley will not turn into a giant lasagna
As bonkers as it sounds, many people shared it on the messaging service.
The audio said, “My sister, her boyfriend’s brother works for the Ministry of Defense and one of the things they do to prepare … is to make a huge lasagna. For the moment, as we speak, they are building the massive layers of lasagna.
“They put the underground heating at Wembley, it’ll cook the lasagna, then they cross the roof and it’ll recreate the oven, and then what they’re going to do is lift it with drones and cut small portions to drop it off at people’s homes. “

Billy McLean, the 29-year-old man behind the fake message, parodyed the masses of misinformation we see during the coronavirus pandemic and shows how easily fake news can spread.
McLean shared it with a group of friends on Thursday noon and within hours it was fired after being shared worldwide.
He told The Guardian, “It was just a take. I sent it to the soccer group, my mom, and the girl I’m trying to date.
“He went around the football group. Then people I know passed it on to me, not knowing it was me, or sending it to me asking if I had heard it. The ex-girlfriends came out of the woodwork asking me if it was me. “
And according to the Daily Mirror, the FAs actually moved to confirm that while they are aware of the clip, they have no plans to turn Wembley into giant lasagna.
