Why does Jake, the first team prodigy, leave the room every time Jonny Wilkinson takes a kick?

Evening With Gary Lineker, An
The end of the good times. A country heading into recession. A nation craving the fix of victory on the football field. An England team, preparing for battle with the old enemy, West Germany. Just one match away from almost certain glory in the World Cup final In a hotel suite on the island of Majorca 5 people have come together to watch the game on TV. A troubled husband and wife, with a marriage on the rocks. A friend contemplating ugly betrayal. A lover who has unexpectedly arrived at the hotel. And a glamorous German holiday rep, enjoying her last summer as a single girl. One of the most dramatic football matches of all time is about to begin. By the end of it, 5 people's lives will have changed forever.
