7:37 pm
west germany and austria's players engineered the result of their group match at spain �*82, so both would progress to the next stage. there was uproar, especially from algeria who missed out on qualification. fifa would go on to change their rules at future tournaments, so final group matches would have be played at exactly the same time. olly foster looks back at the game that became known as the disgrace of gijon. and has spoken to the scottish referee who was in charge. the 1982 world cup was the biggest to date. 2a teams taking part — england, northern ireland and scotland were there. italy would become champions for a third time. who can forget this goal celebration in the final against the west germans? west germany also lost their opening game. algeria, the world cup debutants, were one of the early stories of that baking spanish summer. they then beat chile and had every chance of going through, they just needed the final game in their group the following day to go their way.
7:38 pm
germany and austria made sure it went their way. a 1—0 win to the germans saw both progress at algeria's expense. bob valentine was refereeing his first world cup match that day, helpless as the two sides�* intentions became clear. it's even worse than i remember it. they had been playing normally before the goal and i had no reason to think they would not play the same after, but i quickly realised they weren't going up the park as quickly as they could. if the ball went out, it took an age to get the ball back in spot. everything was slowed down. if this was a practice match they would have called it dull, but it's the world cup tie, it's a disgrace. the number of passes was exceptional, it appeared as they got into the other
7:39 pm
half of the field they lost interest in th ball. i discovered it and so did the fans and there was a lot of unrest in the terrace, particularly from the algerian section, some of them waving cash, whatever that was suggesting, but that is what was going on. that's the final whistle and the anger on the faces of the crowd because they have been cheated. what were your emotions at the full—time whistle? it was sad for everything. i felt for algeria. it changed football because now the last games of any section must now be played at the same time. i don't think we have heard the last of this game for a long time as the crowd chant their disapproval at all 22 players.
7:40 pm
it's hard to believe it's actually a world cup tie. there was nothing i could do about it, it's not a boxing match, i couldn't call the two captains together and tell them to get stuck into each other, that option was not open so all i could do is deal with whatever happened, which was very little. bob valentine, who is now 83, and who refereed the disgrace of gijon at the world cup in 1982. finally, london is hosting some of the world's best break dancers for the b—boy breaking championships this weekend. for the first time, the championships will be livestreamed on the bbc as the dancers battle it out for world titles in solo and crew events. ahead of the event, miriam walker—khan went to meet the uk's number one woman breaker, roxy milliner. on saturday evening, the best breakers in the world will be leaving this north london value with fresh world titles at the b—boy breaking championships. roxy milliner is the current uk number one set to contend for
7:41 pm
one of those titles. it's been one of the most prestigious events for as long as i've been breaking and before. it was like the event that everyone wanted to go to from when we first started and it was in the uk so for the uk people, it was our only big international event. roxy has been involved in the sport for 15 years, but this year is different as it's the first time she's competed since giving birth. it's actually started to become a little bit more important after i had my son because it's such a male dominated thing that obviously men are not going to understand how it feels for a woman to have a child, what your body physically goes through, it's just crazy. now she wants to change perceptions of what it means to be a mum in the sport. the fact that i'm even starting to come back, i'm actually proud of myself. that's something i would like younger girls to understand, that it doesn't have to mean it's the end. some of the comments that you get being pregnant,
7:42 pm
it's like, "what are you going to do now?" it gets put on to you that now you have to quit and that's the end of you as a breaker. i want to prove that's not the case. it gives me tingles. i'm like, yes, let's go! in 2020 breaking was announced as an olympic sport and it will make its debut at paris in 2024 and one of the reasons it was added is because the olympics were looking for new events that were popular with younger audiences and to help promote gender equality. the amount of money that you can get as a breaker now is so much different to my whole career basically, the idea of actually having financial stability within breaking is brand—new, it's amazing. there's always a negative side to it because it's still an art form as well as a sport so not wanting to take away the integrity of breaking and the culture, so as long as all the breakers from before them keep teaching and keep making sure that everyone understands what
7:43 pm
needs to be understood in breaking, then i think we'll be fine, all it means is bigger opportunities for everyone. will we be seeing you in paris in 202a? i hope so, i would love to and i believe that if i can get and just figure all of that out, i really think that i have the ability to be able to be at paris 202a. and you can watch the b—boy championships right now live on the iplayer and the bbc sport website and app. that's all from sportsday. coming up next is the film review.
7:44 pm
hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. i'm jane hill. and taking us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. good to see you, jason. what have you been watching? well, this week we've got everything — elvis, we've got big hit, we've got wham! talk about absurd. we'll start with baz luhrmann�*s long awaited biopic of the king elvis and the man who discovered him, colonel tom parker, played by tom hanks. and then we go to france for, literally, a prison drama — a drama being made in a prison where inmates put on samuel beckett's waiting for godot. they do have time on their hands, after all. and then i will not let you down — it's george michael freedom uncut. will it be any good? you've got to have faith, jane. excellent. plenty more puns where they came from. let's start with elvis. i mean, i love a lot of baz luhrmann�*s work. so tell me, what's it like? yeah, this is the man who made strictly ballroom, moulin rouge,
7:45 pm
the great gatsby. he's got this typically frenetic style, and here he is taking on the myth, the legend, the king of rock and roll, elvis, and the man who discovered him played by tom hanks, colonel tom parker. let's have a look as we go back right to the beginning of the story where elvis was a country boy around country fairs with gospel and country at his heart. and then colonel parker discovers him at the fairground and realises he might have a hit act on his hands. what are you thinking, jimmy? i don't know what i'm thinking. please lord, don't let him hurt my baby. hurt him? looks like they wanna... now, i don't know. nothing about music, | but i could see in that girl's eyes he was a taste of forbidden fruit. she could have eaten him alive.
