Mother's Day Surprise For USA Women's Soccer Team Before Ireland Win (Photos)

The United States women’s national soccer team won Mother’s Day 2015 with the help of FOX Sports.

Mothers of Team USA players walked their daughters onto the field before their exhibition game against Ireland on Sunday at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, Calif. The touching scene was part of a surprise mothers visit that FOX Sports organized ahead of the game — the second of four in Team USA’s send-off series ahead of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
