The Starblaydia national football team has represented the nation of Starblaydia in tournaments and cups around the world for over sixty years with a distinguished participation record and intriguing history. They competed rom World Cup 15 to World Cup 34 before an hiatus which lasted sixteen years. They are planned to be back for World Cup 38.

World Cup 15

Starblaydia first entered the World Cup Qualifiers for World Cup 15 in an attempt to travel to The Eagles Nest and Eauz. Led by Ryan Garry, Starblaydia were ranked 115th in the World thanks to their impressive debut a year earlier at the 3rd Under-21 World Cup. Their first Qualifying match ended in defeat away at the hands of regionmates Vilita, with Nikola Lazerevski scoring Starblaydia's first senior goal. These Qualifiers saw Starblaydia's perhaps most impressive ever victory, defeating Dance 2 Revolution 5-1 in Starblaydia to record what would be the best-ever victory for many years. The first international hat-trick by a Starblaydia player came in this match as Lazerevski bagged three, with Stefan Haldorsson and Guylain N'Dumbu-Nsungu rounding out the 5-1 thrashing. A 3-2 victory over Vilita in the return leg and 3-1 over Svecia. Overall Starblaydia ended up with a 6-6-6 record, scoring 31 goals and conceeding 26 in their 18 matches.

Cup of Harmony 7

By finishing 7th out of 9 in their Qualifying Group, Starblaydia were invited to enter the Cup of Harmony. Simeone Di Bradini scored his first ever goals for the senior side as he bagged two of the three goals Starblaydia scored in all their six matches. Lazerevski also bagged one, but Starblaydia won two, drew one and lost three of their Group Stage matches in Krytenia and Melmond. They also suffered their worst defeat, a record which stood for fifteen years, to Crystilakere when they were defeated 4-0 on Matchday Three.

Top Scorer: Simeone Di Bradini, 2 Goals

International Recreation Cup 1

Starblaydia's first senior non-World Cup-related tournament was in Cockbill Street. With what some would consider now to be a historical 'dream team' striking partnership of Lazerevski and Di Bradini, Starblaydia scored precisely zero goals in five matches. It also included the first meeting with the soon-to-be very familiar NEWI Cefn Druids. It also provoked much dislike for Streetian-held tournaments. Starbladyia matches in IRC1:

The Lowland Clans - 0-2
NEWI Cefn Druids - 0-1
Rejistania - 0-1
Cockbill Street - 0-2
Vilita - 0-1
Overall Record: W0 D0 L5 GF0 GA7
Captain: Ryan Garry
Top Scorer: None (No goals scored)
Group Position: 6th Place


World Cup 16

The second attempt at Qualification for the World Cup came with a shot at getting to Rejistania and Brazillico for World Cup 16. Simeone Di Bradini bagged himself 6 goals in 10 games, though Starblaydia as a whole floundered, winning only two games, drawing five and losing three. They finished, unsurprisingly, behind Iansisle, Commerce Heights and Cockbill Street. After the incredible debut performance in the qualifiers of four years before, Starblaydi fans were hoping to make it to the final thirty-two but were denied by five scoring draws in their last six matches. A 1-1 draw against Commerce Heights on Matchday Nine also marked the beginnning of a series of scoring draws with the CapitaliZts, as more were to come over the years.

Cup of Harmony 8

Starblaydia were at somewhat of an all-time low at this point, as they only scored two goals in four games. J.J. Stark with a consolation in a 3-1 defeat to Turori and Nikola Lazerevski earning their only point of a Group Stage with a 1-1 draw against Kylaai.

AOCAF 2

Having just missed out on participating in the first Regional Tournament, Starblaydia went to Vilita and Ahmed Ol-wairain burst onto the international scene. The long tradition of unpronouncable Starblaydi striking combinations was continued with Guylain N'Dumbu-Nsungu and Christian Kabeya-Mbaya, though they only managed a goal each. Starblaydia fell in the Quarter-Finals to Crystilakere.

Overall Record: W2 D2 L2
Captain: Boaz Myhill

Eagle's Cup 3

Here, in The Eagles Nest, the highly-fruitful partnership of Simeone Di Bradini and Eomer Hall was first brought together. 26 and 22 respectively, the two strikers began a partnership at international level that would reach until World Cup 18. Stablaydia only won a single match, however, drawing two and losing three in the Group Stage, including a 4-0 thrashing by Vilita, Stablaydia's worst record to date. It was this match that sealed the departure of Jean-Paul Georges-Ringeaux as national manager before World Cup 17.

GNDN's reign

World Cup 17

A fairly abysmal striker, Guylain N'Dumbu-Nsungu had been a relatively-successful manager of the Starblaydia Under-21s, winning the 3rd Place Playoff of the 5th Under-21 World Cup against Krytenia. Guylain's management technique started off with Starblaydia's largest-ever win, a record that continues to this day. 6-0 against Pure Evil. Simeone Di Bradini (2), Ceri Salisbury, Eomer Hall, J.J. Stark and Roberto Di Bradini scored the goals that got Guylain's senior management career off to a flyer. In an excellent qualifying performance, Simeone Di Bradini equalled Nikola Lazerevski's record of 11 goals in a World Cup campaign. Critics would point out that three of Di Bradini's came from a one-off extra Qualifying match against Tanah Burung and two in the World Cup itself, but Nikola had 18 Qualifying games to score his goals, while Simeone had just 14 to bag his. Overall, they come about about equal.

Though getting through to their first ever World Cup Finals, Starblaydia didn't start well as they lost 2-1 to Audioslavia and 1-0 to The Lowland Clans, both of whom were considered to be much better teams than Starblaydia at the time. Needing a 3-0 win over NEWI Cefn Druids on the final matchday, Simeone Di Bradini, Stefan Haldorsson and Ki-Jana Carter duly obliged with the goals, while Rodriguez Da Silva duly kept his clean sheet and Starblaydi progressed.

An 2-1 extra-time win over Europa Brittania with Michael Hawthorne scoring in the first ninety minutes and a Simeone Di Bradini winner sent Starblaydia into the last-eight. Unfortunately, Melmond, the only other team as lowly-ranked as 46th-in-the-world Starblaydia at number 42, smashed and grabbed a one-nil win over Starblaydia.

AOCAF3

A trip to Pedriana for their second Atlantian Oceania Cup of Association Football saw Starblaydia go on an excellent run all the way to the Final, including a massive 6-1 victory over rivals Vilita. At the time many questioned the scoreline, though all referees associated with the game were cleared - after extensive Bedistani investigations - of any wrong-doing. Karl Robertson, Tetsuo Naoki, Fabricio de Souza Lima, Aiden Matranga (2), and Jerome Montefalcon scored the goals. Starblaydia, though, lost an epic Final match against the defending champions NEWI Cefn Druids, in a seven-goal thriller that saw Aiden Matranga's last match. His legacy would soon live on, however, through his progeny. Matranga had scored his first goal for his country in the Pedrian city of Itechton against New Manhattan, and so he named his newborn son after the city.

Overall Record: W8 D1 L2 GF32 GA15

World Cup 18

With a thirty-one year-old Simeone Di Bradini not expected ot continue his carrer past World Cup 18, he was named as Captain for the tournament to be held in Bedistan and Eauz. An overall good run in Qualifying was tempered by Matchdays three to six, where Starblaydia picked up just a single point from their four matches. Three consecutive clean sheets later and the Qualification run was back on and Starblaydia overturned the poor results in the return matches with Nova Britannicus, Liverpool England, Halfassedstates and Aquiliana to surge back into contention and Qualify from second in the group.

The Finals, however, saw a Group C loss to Iansisle, a draw with The Eagles Nest and a victory over Druida. Starblaydia failed to Qualify, though SDB now had four goals in World Cup Finals matches.

AOCAF4

Starblaydia were the hosts of AOCAF4, the first major international sporting event hosted solely in the nation. Denied a place in the World Cup side after N'Dumbu-Nsugnu's decision to play a back-three for World Cup 18, former captain Spike Martin returned at the age of thirty to the AOCAF in a more conventional 4-4-2 Diamond. A forgetable, though fruitful, Group Stage was only marred by yet another loss to Crystilakere: a team who Starblaydia had now only beaten once in five matches over three AOCAFs, the previous points being a single draw in AOCAF3's Group Stage before Starblaydia defeated them 1-0 in the first game of this tournament.

Later wins over regional rivals (in more than just sports) Lamoni and then Sarzonia set up another dream final with NEWI Cefn Druids, who were defending their third title. At the Jader Barbahlo Stadium, 96,000 Druids and Starblaydis cheered on Starblaydia to a 2-1 win over the undoubtedly greatest team in the region, and Starblaydia had their first piece of footballing silverware.

Eagle's Cup 4

Fresh from the regional title, Starblaydia entered the 4th tournament in The Eagles Nest with renewed vigour. This obviously paid off as Starblaydia finished top of a strong group containing Audioslavia, Turori and Legalese. Though expecting to break into the top twenty in the world rankings, Starblaydia could not break into the top four of this tournament as NEWI Cefn Druids gained a minor piece of revenge by defeating Starblaydia 1-0 in the Last-Eight, Starblaydia's last participation in the tournament that did not reach a fifth cup.

Overall Record: W4 D0 L4 GF7 GA6

Eliminated in Quarter-Finals

World Cup 19

Qualification for World Cup 19 began well, with 2-0, 4-0, 3-0 and 4-0 victories. However this opening drive was tempered by what still stands as Starblaydia's heaviest losing margin to this day, a four-goal drubbing in a 5-1 loss away to Squornshelous. Two draws with Druida and a win and loss to Krytenia were the more-interesting match-ups during the Qualifiers, in which Starblaydia improved upon their previous statistics.

In the Finals, however, Starblaydia faltered badly, managing to lose to Eauz and only draw with both regional rivals Vilita and Nova Britannicus, dumped out of the tournament despite being ranked 15th.

AOCAF5

At the age of 35, and player-manager of Vilitan side Kiiarana City, Simeone Di Bradini was called up as captain of the AOCAF side. He netted four times in the first game, a Starblaydi record for goals in one match, as Starblaydia defeated Big Pimento 6-2. An undefeated Group Stage in neighbouring host-nation Legalese was marred only by a 0-0 draw with Sarzonia. Despite the excellent start, however, Starblaydia were defeated over two legs by Turori, 1-3 and 0-0, so failed to defend their first Reigional Title successfully.

International Recreation Cup 2

Though their first experience of the IRC cup had put a huge black mark on their copybook, Starblaydia entered the second IRC cup with renewed vigour. This time they managed to defeat every team they played, bar the hosts - Cockbill Street, and ended up 2nd in the tournament: greatly improving on their previous record.

World Cup 20

Starblaydia, along with Bekkside neighbours Druida, had the honour of hosting the 20th World Cup. As a last hurrah, Simeone Di Bradini - now 39 - was included in the team with the Number 23 shirt. Starblaydia's national hero would later present the Winner's Trophy to Santo Kecker of Vilita, but Simone himself scored his 44th and final goal of his international career against The Belmore Family, the fifth in a 5-1 demolition on Matchday Two. Starblaydia topped their group thanks to that win, drawing 0-0 with Svecia and defeating One Red Dot 3-1. Bedistan, however, proved Starblaydia's undoing in their next round, defeating the hosts in Extra Time.

AOCAF6

After failing to get past the Quarter-Final stage four years earlier, Starblaydia redeemed themselves by travelling all the way to the final, where they lost to Vilita. The Vilitan side of that year became the first 'Double' winners, having won both World Cup 20 and AOCAF6 in short succession, the first team to hold both titles at once. Starblaydia would be the next, but not for a decade. Notable Starblaydia matches in this cup included a 6-2 thrashing of neighbours Nova Britannicus, a 3-1 Quarter-Final win over Lamoni, and revenge over Turori from AOCAF5 with a clinical 3-0 victory in the Semis. Starblaydia, however, came up short against Vilita in the final, losing 2-0.

Jurassic Invitational

In Raptor Claw Starblaydia took part in a one-off tournament, notable for the Legalese side Starblaydia faced on Matchday 1, where instead of a Senior team, the Legalite Under-7s team took part. Starblaydia played with just four Under-21 players on the pitch against a full team of 11 Legalites, and drew 2-2 with the match abandoned at half time. In later matches Starblaydia were thrashed 4-0 by both Vilita and Squornshelous, being sent packing in the last eight.

World Cup 21

Starblaydi Football was on the up with the team now ranked as 12th in the world and looking for yet more progression as they entered qualifying for Cockbill Street and Lethislavania's 21st World Cup. Their only slip-up in qualifying was on Matchday 2 as they fell 1-0 away in Allanea. Syku Lyku-Agbayani bagged a hat-trick against Rittarstan in the very next match to redress the balance, however.

Starblaydia's performance guaranteed them first spot in the Group and they headed to Lethislavania for their fifth Finals appearance in a row. This was an atrocious performance, unfortunately, as Nick Matranga scored Starblaydia's only goal of the finals and Guylain N'Dumbu-Nsungu found himself looking for another job.
