Don't Come Home Too Soon Dribbling Bots
Don't Come Home Too Soon The great thing about robot football (for the moment at least), is that entire nations don't get their hopes up about them needlessly. Dribbling bots and are much less likely to disappoint you, and don't sell many T-Shirts or scarfs either. But I guess there's not much to do about it, humans are here to stay -- until 2050...

Moscow Times - Robots Face Off on Soccer Pitch Finantial Times - One day robots will win the World Cup AP World - Goal of robot World Cup: beating human soccer's best in 2050 This year, things seem to be going well.
