Season 4 : 02.02.2005 - 18.05.2005

Summary
First national title for Spora continuing to rise. First cup for Gainesvillerockcity against Spora. But the real event of this season come from the national U20 team, who made all Luxembourg sit in front of HT Live for memorable moments.

Nationaldivisioun
Jeunesse renerts who joined the first league, had a tough season but not as tough as Belair Allstars and Ocean Dragons who finished relegated. Bayella made an incredible first half of the season relying on counter-attacks and a very efficient attack, but collapsed in the final weeks to finish 3rd place. Young Boys battled hard to finish 4th. My Luxembourg Soccer Club made a solid season finishing 2nd to the uncontested champion Spora who was undefeated after its long cup run. Spora relied on a team overpowered by its national midfield.

D2
In II.1 formatdepoche was a surprising but worthy winner, finishing undefeated with its defensive team, letting Jeunesse Champion to its unfulfilled cup dreams. In II.2, FC Jeunesse Kanech was an uncontested champion again with a very defensive team. In II.3 newcomer Erster Im Ländchen surprised everyone and finished champion with a very offensive team, managing well a cup run until the semi-finals. They finished with the same number of points but a far better goal difference as 2 times cup winner Hacat, who had some surprising downs in the season . In II. 4 it was Gainesvillerockcity time to shine, despite their cup run, they succeeded to easily win the division ahead of demoted HaiWai. This was also the last season for Etzella who quitted the game.

D3
FC Mettendorf missed the title to the opportunist F.C. Koeppchen Wormer in III.1. LIMPERSBERG FC presented a very nice team and won the III.2 title, to rising DurdenTyler’s Fight Club Football. Promoted teams included Edinburgh DUST, sandweiler ovals and rookie Yoonkers.

Cup
A bit more success for the Nationaldivisioun teams than the previous season but not that much. 3 of them in the quarterfinals but then only Spora making it to the next stages. Other teams that made it to the semi-finals were Erster Im Länchen, Gainsvillerockcityand Jeunesse Champion. Everything went fine for Spora until the end game that Gainesvillerockcity took with a surprising 2-1 win, so much for the double that season for Spora.

NT
Transition season for alfredbester’s team, who continued to renew the team including some promising youngsters.

U20
The World Cup qualifications started with a thundering win of DurdenTyler’s U20 team. With a 343 tactic at home against the 352 of the U20 WC holder’s Romania, our U20 team sealed late 2-1 victory. Ern Weny and Norbert Neu were the scorers that night writing our U20 team history. It became even better in the second game in Taiwan as the U20 team beat the local team by a large 4-0 margin. And it did not end there, thanks to Durdentyler’s offensive strategy, the Letzebuerg team won again against Taiwan but also 4-1 against the strong turkish team. Thanks to this brilliant generation and magnificient coaching, the U20 team was the proud of the nation. In the end they only felt 3pts short to qualifying, scoring 12 points in the group and finishing 3rd. A great accomplishment for our young and small HT country.

LSC
The era of defensive football is gone and the LSC has evolved towards a more offensive and creative approach to the ball game. This change was welcomed by the supporters and drastically improved LSC’s results at a national level. IT resulted in a solid season for the LSC with a quarter final in the cup and nice league results, including one win against Spora, finally finishing second to the top luxembourgish team.
