As if the stereotype of soccer is boring needed any more help here comes the Japs & the Germans determined to lull everyone to sleep with the RoboCup 2007 final pitting the Darmstadt Dribblers of Germany vs. the CIT Brains & Hajime Team of Japan. The Japanese team must've had CIT for those brains as the Kraut robots defeated the Japanese robots, 2-1, in a sleeper of a match pitting two former WW II Axis Powers together. Word has it that Hitler complained that the German robots were black & that Deutschland should've sent the superior race of Aryan robots to thwart the Yellow Jap team.
Pundits will be calling the the RoboCup 2007 a weakened tournament as perennial robot soccer powerhouses Microsoft United, Apple FC, AC MIT & IBM Friday did not participate.
An opening goal by Deutschbot striker, Adolf Internetten, was ruled out for... I'm not sure what. I think he was ruled to not have been onsides after the virus update.
The German robot goalie, Klaus Cirkitboard, makes a fine pair of diving saves at the 1:13-1:22 mark against Japanese marksbot, Shinjo Rebootamura.
The saves seemed to really give an I/O boost to the Krautbots as no sooner did the applause settle on Cirkitboard's saves then German strikerbot, Adolf Internetten puts in a shot inside the far post to put the Dribblers up, 1-0.
I like the German midfieldbot, Jurgen Spredzsheet hits the post at around the 1:43 mark! That's the robotic me- hitting the post. Put 'em 6 inches apart or 6 miles apart & I'll hit a post. I don't feel so bad now that the cold calculating little robot man with his fancy 01010101010101 type brain can't calculateify a proper trajectory for his little robot shot!
The 2nd half started out with Brains & Hajime immediately tying the match up on Jap midfieldbot's Yoshi Nakamacro long range effort.
Internetten again hits the post immediately after Brains' equaliser with Keeperbot Koji Googlesaki once again counting a post as his friend.
Every one had their servos & transistors fried however as the winning goal was not shown on this video but was apparently scored by Dieter Laptopz & at the final whistle sent all the engineering geeks into raptures of 01010101010101 that lasted long into the night!
German national team manager, Manfred Ebayberg was ecstatic on his team's performance:
0101010001 001 01011110 0010101110101010 00001110 0100001 110 101 0011. 1000111100 001 11011 00100 010 0 001. 10101 01010 001 0 001 000001 00100100111 0 001 0001011 11101 010101011101 00101 001 001011010.
