MSK in Group F


Slovakia's MSK Zilina suffered a tough Champions League draw today, basically eliminating any hope of advancing past the group stage. Group F features the Slovakian side, English powerhouse Chelsea, Olympique de Marseille of France and FC Spartak Moskva. Zilina will open with Chelsea on September 15,followed by Moskva on September 28 and round out the first part of group play against Olympique de Marseille on October 19. They take on OM again on November 3rd, Chelsea on November 23 and Moskva on December 8.
Although it is an extremely tough group, Slovakia proved this summer that upsets can happen. It will also more importantly provide Slovakian football a showcase on the world stage.
