In addition to the World Cup another international football event is taking place in Germany this month: RoboCup 2006
Researcher Founds a Robot Soccer Dynasty (including video webcast):
RoboCup is an international project to foster advances in artificial intelligence and intelligent robotics research. The ultimate goal of RoboCup is to develop, by 2050, a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can beat the human world champion soccer team. Veloso and Carnegie Mellon have been participating since “pre-RoboCup” events in 1996 and the first official RoboCup games in 1997. Veloso was general chair of RoboCup 2001 in Seattle.

“The vehicles in MIT’s test platform are inexpensive, off-the-shelf gadgets; they can be easily repaired or replaced with a new vehicle, just as might happen in a real-world scenario involving numerous small UAVs on a long-term mission.//”

It may be a great idea for the AI field and indeed a great development if they make such team by 2050 but i think it will not be good for game of football.Its not just about the game its about the emotions involved which may take 50 more years to be introduced in robots footballers or AI
