With the score tied 1-1, it's gone to a penalty shootout in a tense soccer match between teams from Israel and Australia.

Welcome to the RoboCup, where more than a thousand soccer-playing robots from forty countries have descended on the Dutch technology Mecca of Eindhoven this week with one goal in mind: beat the humans.
