We enjoyed a similar experience in 1999 with the Brookland-Cayce HS boys soccer team. In fact, our first tour guide of the trip was from Shrewsbury, which we visited and it is a beautiful place.
We stayed in Wrexham, Wales for part of the trip and Watford (London), England the rest of the time. Played four matches and saw some great venues like Anfield, Goodison Park, Old Trafford, Highbury, White Hart Lane, Stamford Bridge, etc., as well as two live matches -- Blackburn @ Blackpool and Bologna (Italy) @ Chelsea.
Have fun, it's a trip of a lifetime!
