England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson insists he remains "100% committed" to the England job and believes his relationship with the players "has not been damaged in any way" by revelations in the News of the World.
The Football Association have confirmed their support for the Swede who told an undercover reporter - posing as a rich Arab - that he would quit as England coach if they win the World Cup this summer, and suggested he would be prepared to become manager of Aston Villa as part of a hypothetical takeover.
Days after stressing the importance of creating the right "ambience" when he took over five years ago, Eriksson made indiscreet comments about Michael Owen, David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney.
But the FA have given the 57-year-old their "full support".
Eriksson told www.thefa.com: "I would like to assure everyone, especially the fans, that I'm 100 per cent committed to the England job. I've told The FA this and I value the great support I have received from them."
Eriksson's job is not thought to be under any threat, although it remains to be seen what effect the revelations will have on his players, with just six months until the World Cup in Germany.
"He is lazy sometimes," Eriksson said of Manchester United centre-back Ferdinand and then, referring to Ferdinand's United team-mate Rooney, he talked of the player having a "temper" and "coming from a poor family".
Eriksson said skipper Beckham was "a bit frustrated" at Real Madrid and that he would be able to phone the England captain to persuade him to return to English football with Villa.
And Eriksson also made reference to Owen, who joined Newcastle in a £17million transfer from Real Madrid in August after a deal could not be struck with his former club Liverpool.
Eriksson added in the News of the World report: "I talked to Michael Owen and said, 'You are happy?' He (Owen) said, 'Not really with the club, but economically I never earned that money in my life'. So they paid the salary more than Real Madrid did.

The fact that Sven doesnt show any passion really dont bother me, i like the way he keeps a calm head. No one has a go at Arsene Wenger When he uses the same approach.

The difference being Wenger's team play great football and they actually win stuff. Unfortunately we (England) don't do either. The perception that we actually have a chance of winning the next World Cup is ludicrous. Brazil, Argentina and Holland would all be able to beat us, as will Italy, France and Spain if they have good tournaments, plus you then have Germany with home support. We are going to have to play extremely well to get beyond the Quarters.

I agree with u but the difference between arsenal and england is that arsenal have 4 competitions every year to enter and a chance to win where as england have one every two years.
For England to win the world cup they need some luck and for everyone to be playing well with no injuries because even though we have a good first 11, r squad is pretty poor.
