Japan have won the RoboCup, the world's annual robotic soccer championship.

Over 40 countries competed for the coveted title, but it was a group from the University of Chiba in Japan who emerged victorious. They beat the hosts China in the final. We just hope the robot who got the winning goal did a Peter Crouch celebration. robotcrouch We'll be honest, it's not the most exciting sport to watch, but you do have to have a certain amount of steel about you to participate. Not one bit sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyV6z3wskzg
