Part 1 - Ellen White, Jill Scott, Fara Williams, Anita Asante, Alex Scott*, Karen Bardsley, Dunia Susi and Casey Stoney reveal the first thing they packed for Germany, what they will miss most about home and who they would most (and least) like to share a room with.

Part 2 - The girls discuss how they will relax during the tournament, they talk us through what music they will listen to and what books and magazines they will read.

Part 3 - Finally, they tell us how good (or bad) their German is, what they will be doing during coach journeys and whether they will be tweeting or not.

Part 4 - The girls predict who the biggest prankster will be, where the banter will be coming from (Jill Scott – who has been keeping her own video diary for FATV), and which player will be the designated squad DJ.
