For an U10's match around '98' it would've been 7 a side, roll on, roll off subs and most importantly, small goals ! There was no offsides until U11's and the bigger pitches and goals plus 11 aside.
3 scored in 66 attempts is crazy and could just be big lumps in goal who fill out the target like a Hockey keeper.

However here is an interesting stat, his first 15 games for Chelsea have brought him 31 points. Pochettino’s last 15 games yielded 32 points.When Enzo Maresca took over the job at Chelsea many of us thought he was on a hiding to nothing. Chelsea had far too many players and keeping them all happy would be very difficult, nigh impossible. He seemed to cope very well, sorted out the difficult Rahim Sterling situation, prioritised his squads, one for the Prem and one for Europe Now he is quite rightly receiving plaudits all round as Chelsea sit 2nd in the table while a lot of people thought Chelsea would really struggle this season.
