The problem with human players is consistency. For example robots don't get sick (unless you count software viruses), won't get injured/damaged as easily as human players, and don't have hangovers (unless someone invents robot intoxicants in the the next 30yrs, nothing's impossible). Also they won't have out rageous pay demands, have tantrums, fall out with team mates, get into pitch battles, bar brawls, sex scandals, etc. All in all, robot players would seem to have quite a few advantages over human players (at least most current generation ones). The Brazilians may be helping greating a monster that will come back to haunt them, especially given the fact that there is no guarantee [unless you get into areas like genetic engineering] that the Brazilian World Cup team of 2050 will be a team of greats. Remember, like all countries, Brazil has had both great teams, and truly terrible teams, as well as those that fall in between. Just my two cents on the subject.
