LONDON (Reuters) - England coach Roy Hodgson retains the support of the Football Association despite the team's dismal showing at the World Cup last month, FA Chairman Greg Dyke said on Tuesday.

Dyke said he thought Hodgson did "quite a good job" in Brazil and repeated his view that there were too many foreign players in the Premier League for the national team to thrive.
