World Cup: where the participating teams are staying

The 2006 Fifa World Cup (soccer tournament for those of you in the US!) begins in Germany next month and so, throughout May, I’ll be telling you about where each team is staying – everything from the 5-star Kempinski-Hotel Falkenstein in KÃ¶nigste (which will be home to favourites Brazil) to the luxurious Schlosshotel BÃ¼hlerhÃ¶he in the Black Forest Mountains (where the England squad will be staying).
