RoboCup World Championship 2018Germany is the soccer world champion!

Even though it got off to a good start in the games, it ultimately had to admit defeat. He and his opponent 'NimbRo-OP2x' saw the ball reliably with their cameras, were able to run to it quickly and kick it hard. However, 'Sweaty' was too defensive, meaning that the Bonn team with the dribbling 'NimbRo-OP2x' was able to defend its world championship title from the previous year in a 2:0 final.
