Japanese foot-bots outperform nat'l team
While Japan's national team battled Croatia in a frustrating scoreless match yesterday in Nuremburg, their second disappointing showing at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the footballers' silicon counterparts fared far better.
With the Samurai Blue squad's chances of advancing to the knockout stage all but gone, Team Osaka's new humanoid soccer robots Vision Tryz were mopping up the competition in Bremen. According to RoboCup 2006 results, Vision again proved the best humanoid footballer in the tournament, which drew 440 teams from 36 countries. The dusky dribblers from Kansai downed German rivals Team NimbRo of the University of Freiburg 9-5 in the two-on-two final.
I humbly suggest the entire Japan squad be replaced by Visions for the match against Brazil in Dortmund on June 22. If not, the Boys in Blue will have to rely on a miracle.
