Well, maybe not that soon:
More than a thousand football-playing robots and RoboCup fans from forty countries have descended on the Dutch technology Mecca of Eindhoven this week with one goal in mind, to beat the humans at their own game.

They’re going to have to do a lot more than that to make soccer palatable to Americans, however.
