ALL THE SPORTS by Ime Morison

It was another weekend of pulsating action in sports. Our sports columnist shall bring you insights into the major actions...in this week's edition of ALL THE SPORTS.

SUPER, SUPER EAGLETS
The weekend bagan in fabulous style for Nigerians as the Golden Eaglets emerge world champions in the FIFA U-17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. The Nigerian team defeated defending champions Mexico 3-0 through an Aguirre's own-goal, a tap in from Kelechi Iheanacho and a superb free-kick from Muhammed. The victory underscored the Golden Eaglets superiority in the competition as it became the first team to win the trophy four times.
The Manu Garba-tutored side scored 25goals, while conceeding only four and dominated the awards ceremony as Kelechi Iheanacho won the Golden Ball, as the Most Valuable Player of the tournament; Silver Boot, as second highest goal scorer with six(6) goals; while Dele Alampasu won the Golden Gloves as the Best Keeper of the tournament.
With this victory, commendations must be extended to the ManuGarba led technical crew and indeed the NFF, who for once, made adequate pre-tournament preperation for the team. We hope the NFF have turned a new leaf in this regard even as we urge that the bulk of this team is maintained to graduate into the U-20 national side.

FABULOUS RONALDO
Cristiano dos Santos Aviero Ronaldo scored an incredible hat-trick against Real Sociedad to record his 23rd hat-trick for Real Madrid in a 5-1 win. Ronaldo opened the scoring with an angled drive before setting up striker Karim Benzema for the second. The Portuguese forward added a penalty and Gareth Bale fed Sami Khedira for the fourth.
Antoine Griezmann pulled one back but a Ronaldo free-kick wrapped up the win and his hat-trick. The Carlo Ancelotti's Los Blancos have scored 15 goals in the last three league games with Ronaldo scoring eight of them.
The 28-year-old former Manchester United player now has 27 goals in 19 matches for club and country this season, including four hat-tricks... Fabulous player...

UNSTOPABLE BAYERN
European champions Bayern Munich made history on saturday by becoming the first Bundesliga team to record 37 consecutive games unbeaten with a home win against FC Augsburg.
Jerome Boateng opened the score with a wonderful shot-on-the-turn. Franck Ribery added a second with a free-kick and Thomas Muller converted a spot-kick to make it 3-0.
The win, coupled with Borussia Dortmund's defeat by Wolfsburg, means that Bayern extend their lead at the top of the table to four points; it ensures that Bayern bettered Hamburger SV 36-match unbeaten sequence set in 1982-83, a record that has stood for 30 years. Also, Bayern's 10 wins and two draws after 12 games with new coach Pep Guardiola, is the best start to a season by a new Bundesliga coach. The Bavarian side looks unstoppable at the moment.

ROBIN "HOOD" PERSIE
Robin Van Persie rose highest to score a decisive goal that robbed former-club Arsenal of all three points in the pick of the weekend's EPL games. The ex-Gunner returned to haunt the team he once captained and made sure Manchester United maintained their 'Bogey Boys' status over the Gunners as well as lift the Old Trafford side up to fifth on the table.
The win has brought United to within five points of their rivals and dents Arsenal's credibility as title-challengers.
It was, to say the least, a disappointing end to a week in which Arsenal made major statements of intent against Liverpool in the Premier League and away to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

HISTORIC MARQUEZ
Marc Marquez finished third at the season-ending Valencia Grand Prix to become the youngest MotoGP champion.
Though Jorge Lorenzo won the race, with Dani Pedrosa second, the result meant Marquez, 20, finished just four points ahead of Lorenzo in the standings, the smallest points margin since 1992. It also meant that the young Spanish rider wrote his name into the history books.
In a stunning first year in the elite level of Bike-riders, Marques became the youngest winner of a premier class race with victory at the Circuit of the Americas in April; won the most races in a single season as a rookie with six and is the youngest to win four races back-to-back.
According to the elated rider:
"This is a dream that comes true. I cannot explain what I feel...I didn't expect to fight for the championship this season. Jorge Lorenzo did a great job but thanks to my team."
 This is indeed a true testimony that when preperation meets opportunity, success is attainable...A big CONGRATULATIONS to the young lad!!!
We'll be back and better next week but don't forget that you can 'make your dreams come true' this week....cheers
