The Match That Ended in Advance

John Motson laughed as he provided his commentary of the match. "Did Queiroz think that Tony Twain would go head to head with him? Didn't he claim to know Tony Twain better than everyone else did? How can he possibly not remember Twain's most prominent trait? It's to counter-attack! Counter-attack! Haha!"

Queiroz's face would definitely look even more unpleasant than it was if he heard Motson's mockery of him.

It was not as if he never thought about preventing England's counter-attacks. He simply could not dictate the players' behavior for the entirety of the match. The players have constantly attacked Forest for the past 20 minutes or so, and it was only natural that some of them would start to slack off. Who would have thought that England would make use of that one chance and score from it?
