Nobody is perfect. I am Nobody.

A Utah-based company is now six years into the development of a unique robot that fits around its user so that it literally mimics every movement of its human commander.

Imagine stepping inside a robotic system that fits around your body like an exoskeleton. It allows soldiers to become almost superhuman in strength and stamina.

In this case, whatever the soldier needs to do, the exoskeleton follows his or her exact moves.

The prototype designed and built by SARCOS is going to become even more polished and sophisticated within the next five years.

Take a look at the table below to see how the pots shape up before the last matchday. Only the values for the first 14 countries are 99% correct (I would say 100% correct, but you never know), being based on official data released by FIFA. The other values are computed using historical rankings, different from the ones used by FIFA. But they’re pretty close to the official values and will help you see what pot your country will end up in.

The third column contains the number of points after the November 17th matches.
