FIFA’s Sepp Blatter arrived in Zimbabwe today and met Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe for talks. He is in the country for a two-day visit with a team investigating match-fixing. Last year, Zimbabwe captain Method Mwanjali and four team mates admitted taking money to lose matches on a 2009 tour to Thailand and Malaysia. Zimbabwe lost 3-0 to Thailand and 6-0 to Syria and the players said they were paid between $500 and $1,500.
