Danny Dyer reveals ‘friction’ between England stars’ Wags and families during ‘frustrating’ Euro 2024

DANNY DYER has claimed there was "friction" amongst England Wags and families at Euro 2024.

It was a tournament that ended in heartbreak for the Three Lions as they lost the final to Spain 2-1 in Berlin.

Dyer followed the team across Germany on their road to the capital from inside the squad's trusted circle as his daughter Dani is in a relationship with Jarrod Bowen.

Speaking on , the acting icon revealed there was tension between some families and the lifestyle of being a VIP England fan is not as luxury as many think.

He said: "It’s mad watching it with families, it's very intense following the team around for six weeks.

"It’s not a glamorous lifestyle. They’re sitting on coaches for three hours and it hasn’t been the most exciting football either.

"Some of the families are there and some of their sons are not getting enough game time so there’s a little bit of friction there.

"Gareth Southgate did seem to stay with the same team so some people didn’t get any minutes.

"At least J [Bowen] got some earlier minutes. It’s very frustrating to sit on the bench and you can’t get any minutes.

"There’s nothing you can do about it so you take it on the chin, you learn from it.

"Hopefully whoever comes in as the next manager fancies Jarrod again and he gets to go to the World Cup."

Bowen played twice at the Euros in two substitute appearances in the group stages.

He was left on the bench throughout the knockout stages.

Dyer went onto praise Phil Foden's loved ones, saying: "They are fascinating. There's 16 of the Fodens running around, all diddy people, lovely people.

"I tell you what else I loved - very, very working class all of them.

"So as much as football isn’t a working class sport any more because it costs a bomb to go, the players and their roots, they’re all working class people."

West Ham fan Dyer also opened up about his relationship with Bowen, saying: "The thing about Jarrod is that he’s such a lovely geezer.

"He’s humble, quite a shy kid and loves my daughter and worships the ground she walks on.

That means the world to me and the bonus is he got the winning goal in Prague [Conference League final in 2023], so I feel sorry for my other daughter who’s 17.

"She can never bring a boy home that can ever match what this boy has done."
