This is not a reference to momentum in the sense of physics - rather in the sense of psychology. In physics, a body with a lot of momentum has a lot of inertia and this allows it to overcome small obstacles without stopping. Similarly, a team that has been performing well gains a lot of confidence which may allow it to overcome small glitches in its performance. In that sense the team has got a momentum.

Conversely, after a series of poor performances, the team is said to have lost momentum - even a small upset is enough to stop its progress.

More momentum would mean that the team has recently won several games or matches, and opposite for less momentum.

What is meant by four momentum transfer?

Simply put, four-momentum transfer is the special relativistic spacetime analog of classical (three-) momentum transfer. In classical physics, two bodies can interact and exchange momentum in three spacial dimensions. In particle physics, strictly spatial momentum vectors do not suffice. Instead we use four-momentum, a Lorentz vector. Four-momentum transfer is often referred to as Q^2 is particle physics literature. An interaction that transfer a large amount of four-momentum is a high Q^2 interaction.

What is meant by momentum of a body?

Classically momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. In relativistic mechanics, in order to be conserved, the momentum of an object must be defined as p=γm0v where m0 is the invariant mass of the object and γ is the Lorentz factor, given by γ=1/(Sqrt(1-(v/c)2) where v is the speed of the object and c is the speed of light.
