text: England at the FIFA World Cup

text: History[edit]

text: Brazil 1950[edit]

text: England's first qualifying campaign for the FIFA World Cup doubled as the 1950 British Home Championship. The series kicked off for England on 15 October 1949 at Ninian Park, Cardiff, against Wales. Stan Mortensen gave England the lead after twenty two minutes, and just seven minutes later, Jackie Milburn doubled the lead. This was the first goal of Milburn's hat trick, which left England 4–0 up with 20 minutes to play. Mal Griffiths scored a consolation goal for Wales ten minutes from time, but England held on for a comfortable victory.

text: A month later, England welcomed Ireland to Maine Road, and it began well for the home side as Jack Rowley scored inside six minutes. England were already 6–0 up, thanks to Jack Froggatt, two for Stan Pearson, Stan Mortensen and a second from Rowley, by the time Ireland struck back through Samuel Smyth after 55 minutes. Rowley added a third and a fourth to his tally in the three minutes following Smyth's goal, however, leaving the score at 8–1 at the hour mark. The frantic scoring rate calmed down after that, with only one apeice before the final whistle, with Stan Pearson completing his brace for England's ninth, and Bobby Brennan scoring for Ireland.

text: It was not until May 1950 that England travelled to Hampden Park to face Scotland, who were also undefeated after their games against Ireland and Wales. With the top two from the group qualifying, both teams were guaranteed progression to the finals, and the game was solely for the honour of winning the British Home Championship, and the seeding advantage to be enjoyed upon reaching Brazil. A solitary goal from Roy Bentley gave England the victory, the title and the top spot in the group.

text: 1950 Finals[edit]

text: England were seeded in pot one for the finals, which meant they were the favourites to progress from Group 2, which also contained Spain, Chile and the United States. England's campaign kicked off against Chile in Rio de Janeiro, and, as was expected, England cruised to a 2–0 victory, courtesy of goals from Stan Mortensen and Wilf Mannion.[citation needed]

text: Their troubles began four days later when they faced the Americans in Belo Horizonte in what has become one of the most famous matches of all time. Joe Gaetjens scored the only goal of the match to give the United States an unlikely victory, which has gone down as one of the World Cup's greatest upsets. A myth arose that the English newspapers were so confident of an English victory that when the result was telegrammed back, they assumed a misprint and printed the score as 10–1 in England's favour. However, this has proven to be untrue.[5]

text: This left England in a sticky situation prior to their final match, against Spain in Rio. They needed to win, and for Chile to beat the United States to stand any chance of going through, and even then they would need the goal averages to fall in their favour. As it turned out, no such calculations were necessary, despite Chile's victory, as Spain's Zarra scored the only goal of the game, eliminating England from the competition.

text: As with their first World Cup, England's qualifying for the 1954 edition also constituted the 1953–54 British Home Championship. They played Wales at Ninian Park as their first match once again, and the 4–1 result was the same. However, unlike four years earlier, it was the home side that went into the lead, after twenty two minutes through Ivor Allchurch. Despite being 1–0 down at half time, England scored four within eight minutes of the restart; two each for Dennis Wilshaw and Nat Lofthouse.

text: Goodison Park was the venue for England's home clash against Ireland, who were newly renamed Northern Ireland. Harold Hassall got England off to a good start with a goal after just ten minutes. Eddie McMorran put the Irish back on terms just before the hour mark, but Hassall completed his brace six minutes later. Lofthouse completed a comfortable 3–1 win for England.

text: With the top two in the group qualifying for the finals, the final game between England and Scotland, at Hampden Park, settled nothing except the placings within the group, despite Scotland having dropped a point with a 3–3 draw at home to Wales. Allan Brown put the home side ahead after just seven minutes, but it was all square again thanks to Ivor Broadis just four minutes later. Johnny Nicholls gave England the lead for the first time just after half time, and they began to extend a lead after Ronnie Allen's 68th-minute goal. Jimmy Mullen made the game all but certain seven minutes from time, and although Willie Ormond scored a consolation for Scotland with just 1 minute to play, England topped the competition for the second time in a row.

text: 1954 Finals[edit]

text: England were drawn in Group 4 for the finals, with hosts Switzerland, Italy and Belgium. In an odd twist, unique to the 1954 tournament, England and Italy, as the two seeded teams in the group, did not have to play each other.

text: Equally, Switzerland and Belgium did not have to play each other. England's first game in Switzerland was against Belgium in Basel, and they suffered a shock as Léopold Anoul put the Belgians into the lead after just five minutes. Ivor Broadis put the favourites back on terms just over twenty minutes later, and although Nat Lofthouse gave England the lead 10 minutes later, it was proving to be tougher than they had expected against the Belgians.

text: Broadis scored his second just after the hour, but Henri Coppens hit back four minutes later to keep Belgium in the game at only 3–2 down. Anoul completed his brace another four minutes after that to level the scores again. In another oddity peculiar to this World Cup, drawn matches in the group stage would go to extra time, and as such the teams played on with the score at 3–3.

text: Just one minute into the added period, Lofthouse added a fourth for England and they seemed to have won it, but Jimmy Dickinson scored an own goal three minutes later to put the score back at 4–4. It stayed this way until the extra period was up, and as penalty shoot-outs were yet to be invented and replays were not used in the group, the match was recorded as a draw.

text: England's second and final group game was against the hosts in Bern. This proved to be an easier game for the Three Lions, and they scored one goal in each half (from Jimmy Mullen and Dennis Wilshaw respectively) to give them a comfortable win of 2–0. As Switzerland (against England), Italy (against Switzerland) and Belgium (against Italy) had all lost one game, England progressed as group winners, along with Switzerland, who won a play-off against Italy.

text: England faced the winners of group three and defending champions Uruguay in the quarter-finals. Carlos Borges gave the South Americans the lead inside 5 minutes, but Lofthouse put England back on terms ten minutes later. England were clearly struggling, but held on until just before half time, when Obdulio Varela gave the lead back Uruguay.

text: Juan Alberto Schiaffino doubled the lead just after the break, but Tom Finney kept England's foot in the door with his sixty seventh-minute goal. However, it was all over after Javier Ambrois restored the two goal lead with twelve minutes to play. The score remained at 4–2, and England were eliminated from the cup.

text: Sweden 1958[edit]

text: For the first time, England had to play against countries other than the Home Nations to reach the Finals in Sweden. They were drawn against the Republic of Ireland and Denmark. In the qualifying round, England won three out of the four games and drew the other. Four months before the World Cup, Roger Byrne, Duncan Edwards, David Pegg and Tommy Taylor all lost their lives in the Munich air disaster while playing for Manchester United. At the finals, which is the only tournament to have seen all Home Nations take part, the Home Nations were all drawn in different groups.

text: England were drawn against the Soviet Union (2–2), Brazil (0–0) and Austria (2–2), who finished third in the 1954 World Cup. At the end of the group stage, Soviet Union and England each had three points, and had scored four goals and conceded four goals. This meant there was a play-off to decide the second-placed team in the group, the winner to qualify. England lost the play-off 1–0 and were thus knocked out. The only consolation for England was that they were the only team to play the eventual winners Brazil and not lose.

text: Chile 1962[edit]

text: The third World Cup which took place in South America, saw England qualify by successfully qualifying from the group, which contained Portugal and Luxembourg, defeating Luxembourg on both occasions, and defeating Portugal at home, and drawing in Lisbon.

text: At the finals, England were drawn in a group with Hungary, Argentina and Bulgaria. England defeated Argentina 3-1, thanks to goals from Ron Flowers, Bobby Charlton and Jimmy Greaves,[6] before playing out a goalless draw with Bulgaria, and a 2–1 defeat to Hungary.[7]

text: England finished in second place behind Hungary and played the winners of group 3, defending champions Brazil, in the quarter-finals. Brazil scored first through Garrincha, before an equaliser for Gerry Hitchens before half time. However, second-half goals from Garrincha and Vavá meant Brazil won the game 3–1, and eliminated England from the competition.[8] This defeat was manager Walter Winterbottom's last game in charge. Winterbottom had led England to four World Cup Finals. From May 1963, Alf Ramsey became the manager of England.

text: England 1966[edit]

text: This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2018)

text: In the 1966 World Cup Finals, England used their home advantage and, under Ramsey, won their first, and only, World Cup title. England played all their games at Wembley Stadium in London, which became the last time that the hosts were granted this privilege. After drawing 0–0 in the opening game against former champions Uruguay, which started a run of four games all ending goalless. England then beat both France and Mexico 2–0 and qualified for the quarter-finals.[citation needed]

text: The quarter-finals saw England play Argentina, which ended in a 1–0 win to England. This match saw the start of the rivalry between England and Argentina, when Argentinian Antonio Rattín was dismissed by German referee Rudolf Kreitlein in a very fierce game. A 2–1 win against Portugal in the semi-final then followed. Portugal were the first team to score against England in the tournament. The final saw England play West Germany, with the result finishing in a 4–2 win for England, after extra time.[citation needed]

text: Mexico 1970[edit]

text: 1970 saw the first World Cup finals take place in North America and England qualified automatically for the tournament by winning the 1966 FIFA World Cup. England were drawn in a group with Romania, former world champions Brazil and Czechoslovakia. Each of the matches only saw one goal, with England defeating Romania and Czechoslovakia, and losing to Brazil. The quarter-final saw a repeat of the 1966 final, with England playing West Germany. England were hampered by the fact that first-choice goalkeeper Gordon Banks was ill, and Peter Bonetti played instead. England led 2–0 with goals by Alan Mullery and Martin Peters, but in the 70th minute, Franz Beckenbauer pulled one goal back for West Germany.

text: After Beckenbauer's goal, Ramsey substituted Bobby Charlton, who overtook Billy Wright as England's most capped player ever, with caps totalling 106. Uwe Seeler equalised for the Germans in the eighty first minute, thereby taking the game into extra time. During extra time, Gerd Müller scored the winning goal for West Germany which saw the German side win 3–2. This turned out to be Charlton's last game for England.[9]

text: West Germany 1974[edit]

text: For the first time, England did not qualify for a World Cup. In a group with Olympic champions Poland and Wales, England could not overtake Poland. After only drawing at home to Wales 1–1 and losing the first leg 2–0 to Poland, meant that England had to beat Poland at home, whilst Poland only needed to draw. Poland managed to withstand England's attacks in the first half, who had Martin Peters playing for them. Poland took the lead in the 57th minute with a goal from Jan Domarski.

text: England equalised six minutes later, with a penalty converted by Allan Clarke. England were unable to score any more goals with goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski keeping England at bay. Brian Clough had previously called Tomaszewski a "clown".[10] The commentator of the game then said "it's all over".[11] Poland took this good form to the finals and ended in third place. After failing to qualify, Alf Ramsey resigned from his post and after a time, where Ramsey and his predecessor had lasted a total of 29 years, no manager was able to last in the job for longer than eight years. This ended when Bobby Robson became England manager.[12]

text: Argentina 1978[edit]

text: England also did not qualify for the fourth World Cup which took place in South America. This time, England were denied by Italy, who had scored three more goals than England after both teams finished on the same points. Goals scored dictated who qualified after the head-to-head record between the two sides finished the same, following a 2–0 home win for each team. The lower-ranked teams in the group were Finland and Luxembourg, but the size of the wins against them proved to be decisive. Nevertheless, Ron Greenwood was given a second chance in charge of England, after taking the role in 1977.

text: Spain 1982[edit]

text: 1982 saw the first time where the European Qualifying Rounds were divided into groups of five teams, where the top two teams qualify for the World Cup. Greenwood used his second chance and took England to Spain by finishing second behind Hungary and above Romania, Switzerland and Norway.

text: At the finals, England won all three group games, defeating France 3-1, with a brace from Bryan Robson,[13] before beating Czechoslovakia 2–0, with a Jozef Barmos own goal, [14] and World Cup newcomers Kuwait 1–0, thanks to a Trevor Francis goal.[15]

text: The next round saw a second group stage consisting of three teams, a first time event at the World Cup. England drew with West Germany 0–0 and after the Germans beat Spain 2–1, England then had to beat Spain with a two-goal difference to progress to the next round. England, however, only managed a 0–0 draw against the Spanish. England remained unbeaten at the end of the tournament. After the World Cup, Ron Greenwood's time as England manager ended, and he was replaced by Bobby Robson.

text: Mexico 1986[edit]

text: 1986 saw the second World Cup to take place in Mexico. England qualified for Mexico 1986 by winning four games and drawing four times against Northern Ireland, who qualified in second place, Romania, Finland and Turkey. In Mexico, England lost their opening game to Portugal 1–0 and could only manage a goalless draw against Morocco. The final group game, however, saw England beat Poland 3–0, which is one of the three highest scores for England at the World Cup, with Gary Lineker scoring a hat-trick.

text: This result took England to second place and finished behind Morocco. England then also beat Paraguay 3–0 in the Round of 16. In the quarter-finals, England renewed their rivalry with Argentina in a game that has become notorious for the Argentina goals, both scored by Diego Maradona. Maradona's first goal, known as the Hand of God, was illegal and should not have counted, as he used his hand to punch the ball into the net. However, the referee missed this infringement, and ruled that the goal should stand. Maradona then made the score 2-0, famously dribbling from inside Argentina's half and around several English players before scoring. Gary Lineker pulled back the score to 2-1, but England ran out of time to equalise, and were eliminated. Nevertheless, Lineker finished with the Golden Boot by scoring six goals and thereby becoming England's first Golden Boot winner.

text: Italy 1990[edit]

text: By winning three and drawing three, England qualified for Italia '90, the second World Cup to be held in Italy, scoring ten goals and conceding none. England were unbeaten through qualification, winning three games, and drawing the remaining three, but still finished second to Sweden, whom they drew with twice.[16] England profited from Romania's 3–1 win over Denmark, who, had they won, would have qualified as the third-best second-placed team. West Germany and England were able to qualify for Italia '90 as the best second-placed teams in the groups with four teams.

text: Because a few years previously saw English hooligans at European competition matches, England were forced to play their group games on Sardinia and Sicily. In group F, was the European champions Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland and Egypt and England. After opening the tournament with a 1–1 draw against Ireland and a 0–0 draw against the Dutch, England then beat Egypt 1–0. This was Egypt's first appearance since the 1934 World Cup.[citation needed] England won the group with four points.[17]

text: In the next round, England had to play Belgium. The game went to extra time, and in the hundredth and nineteenth minute, David Platt scored the winning goal.[18] England also had to play extra time against Cameroon in the quarter-finals. Cameroon were the first African team to have reached the quarter-finals. England opened the scoring through David Platt, but Cameroon quickly turned around the game to lead 2-1. Lineker subsequently won and scored a penalty in the 83rd minute to ensure the game went to extra time. He then scored a second penalty, to see England reach the semi-finals.[19]

text: In the semi-finals, England met West Germany. There was no separating the two teams after 90 minutes, which made England the first team to have played extra time in three successive World Cup games. There was also no separating the two teams after extra time, thereby taking the game to penalties.[20]

text: Although English goalkeeper Peter Shilton dived the right way for every penalty, he was unable to save any. German goalkeeper Bodo Illgner, having failed to save any of England's first three penalties, saved England's fourth penalty, taken by Stuart Pearce. Olaf Thon then scored for Germany, meaning that England's Chris Waddle would have to score his fifth penalty and hope that Shilton saved the Germans' fifth penalty. However, Waddle's penalty missed completely, going high over the crossbar, thereby resulting in England's being knocked out of the competition.[20] The third-place playoff between England and Italy saw England lose their only game of the tournament in normal time. Even though this was England's best finish since the 1966 World Cup, Bobby Robson's time as England manager had come to an end.[21][22]

text: United States 1994[edit]

text: For the 1994 World Cup in the United States, under the leadership of new manager Graham Taylor, England surprisingly did not qualify for the tournament. In a group with six teams, England lost to Norway and the Netherlands, finishing third above Poland, Turkey and San Marino.

text: England went into their final game with San Marino knowing they would need a seven-goal victory and for Poland to beat the Netherlands in the other match in order to qualify.[23] In the game against San Marino, Davide Gualtieri scored against England after nine seconds, taking the lead for the outsiders. England went on to win 7–1, which was too small a goal margin. Additionally, despite the half-time score between the Poles and the Dutch being 1-1, the Dutch went on to win 3-1, meaning that however many goals England scored, they could still not qualify. Taylor's tenure in charge ended and he was replaced by Terry Venables, who was dismissed after England lost the semi-final of Euro 1996, hosted in England.[12]

text: France 1998[edit]

text: After missing out on the World Cup in 1994, England, managed by Glenn Hoddle, qualified for the World Cup in France. England were drawn in Group 2 of UEFA qualifying with Italy, Poland, Georgia and Moldova. England beat Poland, Georgia and Moldova both home and away, but a home defeat to Italy in their fourth match meant they went into the final qualifier at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome just a point ahead of the Azzurri and only needing a draw to qualify automatically; defeat would see them have to navigate a play-off to secure qualification. The match finished as a goalless draw and England finished top of the group.

text: At the finals in France, England played in Group G. England defeated Tunisia 2–0 in the first game, with goals from Alan Shearer and Paul Scholes.[24] Their second match saw England lose 2–1 to Romania; despite an 81st-minute equaliser from Michael Owen, Dan Petrescu scored a winner shortly before injury time. In their final group game, England defeated Colombia 2–0 in the decisive match, thanks to goals from midfielders Darren Anderton and David Beckham.[25] England finished second in Group G, which saw them qualify for the last 16 phase, and play the winner of 1998 FIFA World Cup Group H, Argentina.

text: In a fiery game containing six yellow cards and two penalties, David Beckham was controversially sent off in the 47th minute for what many felt was at most a yellow card offence, knocking over Diego Simeone.[26][27] Gabriel Batistuta opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the fifth minute of the game, before an equaliser also from the spot by Alan Shearer four minutes later. England took the lead through Owen, in the 16th minute. Argentina drew level through Javier Zanetti in injury time of the first half.

text: The game finished 2-2, and, as neither team were able to find a winner in extra time, penalties were needed to decide the team that qualified to the next round. While David Seaman did save one penalty, Argentine goalkeeper Carlos Roa managed to save two, including the vital one from David Batty, thereby knocking England out of the World Cup. Beckham subsequently received death threats and was sent bullets in the post.[28][29]

text: South Korea/Japan 2002[edit]

text: In 2002 the World Cup took place in Asia for the first time. England, under its first ever foreign manager in Swedish Sven-Göran Eriksson, were able to qualify for the tournament. England were drawn in Group 9, alongside Germany, Finland, Greece and Albania. In the last ever game in the original Wembley Stadium, (which closed after the match) England played Germany, losing 1–0, the only goal scored by Dietmar Hamann. The match was the last under the management of Kevin Keegan, who resigned at the end of the match, and was replaced by Eriksson.[30] By beating Germany 5–1 in Munich, England's qualifying campaign was revitalised, and they qualified automatically, by drawing 2–2 with Greece. Germany, who could only draw 0–0 with Finland, had to play a play-off game against Ukraine, with England qualifying ahead winning the group.

text: In Japan, England had to play against Eriksson's homeland, Sweden, and both settled out for a 1–1 draw. England and Beckham gained a measure of revenge for their previous 1998 defeat in defeating Argentina 1-0, thanks to a Beckham penalty. However, England could only manage a disappointing 0-0 draw against Nigeria, meaning that although they were able to qualify for the second round, where they played Denmark, they qualified as runners up, which meant that they would meet favourites Brazil in the quarter-finals if they qualified.

text: England played Denmark in the round of 16 defeating Denmark 3–0, thanks to goals from Micheal Owen, Rio Ferdinand, and Emile Heskey.[31] England played four-time World Cup winners and 1998 runners-up Brazil in the quarter-finals. Despite leading through a Michael Owen goal, a mistake by David Seaman saw England lose 2–1, and Brazil won their fourth World Cup match against England, and went on to win the tournament.[32]

text: Germany 2006[edit]

text: England were drawn into Group 6 of European qualifying for the 2006 World Cup. The group featured other home nations in Wales, and Northern Ireland, as well as Poland (who had eliminated England the last time the World Cup took place in Germany), Azerbaijan and Austria. England won eight of the 10 games, and qualified as group winners, in front of Portugal, despite drawing to Austria in Vienna, and losing to Northern Ireland in Belfast.[33]

text: In Germany, however, England were less convincing. England played in Group B, alongside Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, and Sweden. England started with a 1–0 win against Paraguay; which was won due to a 3rd minute own goal.[34] The second game against first time qualifiers Trinidad and Tobago saw England have to wait until the 83rd minute for England to take the lead, with Peter Crouch opened the scoring with a goal many felt was illegal, and the second goal of the game coming in added time from Steven Gerrard.[35][36] The last group game saw England play against Sweden, where an eventual 2-2 draw saw them qualify for the next round as group winners, thereby avoiding playing hosts Germany.[37]

text: In the last 16 stage, a free kick from David Beckham saw England win 1–0 against Ecuador and reach the quarter-finals, where they faced Portugal.[38] The game finished goalless, and England once again were knocked out on penalties and Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo became the first goalkeeper to save three penalties in a penalty shoot-out. Ricardo saved from Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, and Jamie Carragher; the only England player who successfully converted his penalty was Owen Hargreaves. Portugal won the shoot-out 3-1, despite misses from Petit and Hugo Viana. This game was also Erickson's final match as England manager.[39]

text: South Africa 2010[edit]

text: Qualification for the first African World Cup went successfully for new England manager Fabio Capello, after previous manager Steve McClaren was unable to secure qualification to the Euro 2008. By winning nine times and only losing to Ukraine, England qualified ahead of Croatia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra. England's group was seen as a favourable one, containing comparatively much weaker teams.[40] However, England opened up their campaign with a 1–1 draw against the United States, thanks to a major error by goalkeeper Robert Green. They then drew 0–0 against Algeria and were booed off the field by their own fans, drawing the ire of striker Wayne Rooney.[41] England eventually qualified for the next round by beating Slovenia 1–0, but only qualified as runners up to the United States, thereby meaning they would draw favourites Germany.

text: In the second round match, Germany took the lead after 20 minutes after goalkeeper Manuel Neuer played the ball down the pitch to Miroslav Klose, who opened the scoring. The score became 2–0 to Germany after 32 minutes. Shortly after, England defender Matthew Upson scored a header. Later, Frank Lampard had a shot at goal which was disallowed despite crossing the line; which was confirmed on replays. German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer admitted subsequently he knew the ball had crossed the line, but decided to deceive the referee.[42] The German media reported it was "revenge for Wembley", while the English media criticised FIFA's refusal to implement goal-line technology. Ironically, despite his earlier opposition to goal-line technology, Sepp Blatter said that it should be introduced after a Ukrainian goal against England at Euro 2012 was ruled out.[43][42][44] As England tried to equalise, Germany used this to their advantage and scored two more goals. This became Germany's biggest win against England in a World Cup, winning 4-1.[45]

text: Brazil 2014[edit]

text: Under Roy Hodgson, who replaced Fabio Capello after Euro 2012 after a disagreement between Capello and The FA, England qualified for the second World Cup to be held in Brazil. Ukraine were again one of the opponents in the qualifying rounds. The other opponents included Montenegro, Poland, Moldova and San Marino. After winning six games and drawing four, England qualified unbeaten.[46]

text: The draw for the finals saw England have to play against Italy and Uruguay, both former world champions, which meant that it was the first ever time three World Champions were drawn in the same group, along with Costa Rica. England lost to Italy and Uruguay, and were thus knocked out after two games. The final match against Costa Rica finished as a goalless draw. This performance was statistically their worst ever performance at a World Cup, ending up with just one point after two losses to Uruguay and Italy and a goalless draw with Costa Rica in the dead rubber match, their lowest points total in the group stage of a world cup.[46]

text: Russia 2018[edit]

text: England played in UEFA Group F in qualification for the 2018 World Cup, in a group of six with Slovakia, Slovenia, Scotland, Lithuania and Malta, with only the winner of the group guaranteed qualification. England went into the qualification process under manager Sam Allardyce, only for Allardyce to leave the post after just one game due to controversy regarding discussing breaking FIFA rules.[47]

text: Under Allardyce's replacement, Gareth Southgate, England went undefeated throughout qualification, winning eight matches out of 10, drawing with Slovenia 0–0 in Ljubljana, and drawing 2–2 with Scotland in Glasgow thanks to a 90th-minute equaliser from Harry Kane.[48] This was the third successive major tournament that England were undefeated, having been undefeated in 2014 World Cup, and Euro 2016 qualifying.

text: 2018 Finals[edit]

text: Under Gareth Southgate, the England team began their tournament in group G against Tunisia. The game started well for England with a goal from Harry Kane in the 11th minute. Tunisia equalised through Sassi from the penalty spot in the 35th minute following a foul by Kyle Walker. Some controversy followed as various potential offences against Harry Kane, inside the penalty area were ignored by the referee and no VAR checks were carried out. England persevered and scored a second goal in the 91st minute, again by Harry Kane, resulting in a 2–1 victory.[49]

text: In the second group stage match, England surpassed their record for goals scored in a World Cup match by beating Panama 6-1. Jesse Lingard scored the third goal, John Stones scored the first and fourth goals and Harry Kane scored a hat-trick with the second, fifth and sixth goals.[50]

text: In the final group stage match, England narrowly lost 1-0 to Belgium. Adnan Januzaj scored the sole goal of the game; but with both teams having fielded reserve teams, with England specificially making 9 changes. Before the game media outlets stating that a loss could potentially become beneficial, as the winner would be in the half of the draw with four of the top seven sides in the world.[c][51][52] The result that meant Belgium topped the group and England finished second, setting up a last 16 clash with Group H winners Colombia.[53][54]

text: England played their last 16 match in the Otkritie Arena, Moscow, with the same team as against Tunisia. Harry Kane scored his sixth goal of the tournament, and the third penalty, after once again being fouled in the box from a corner, similarly as against Panama.[55] The score remained at 1-0, until stoppage time, where a header from Yerry Mina beat Jordan Pickford in goal to bring the game to extra time. Neither team managed to score in extra time, and the match went to penalties, which England won 4-3.[56] As well as being the first knockout match England had won at a major tournament since 2006 (last defeating Ecuador in the last 16); it was the first time England won a World Cup penalty shoot-out.[d][58] The match was notable for the heated atmosphere the game was played in, with a total of eight yellow cards being shown in the match.[e][59]

text: England played against Sweden in their quarter-final at Cosmos Arena, Samara on 7 July 2018.[57] They won the match 2–0, with defender Harry Maguire scoring his first England goal, a header scored from a corner, and Dele Alli a second header from close range. This would send them through to their third World Cup semi-final and their first since 1990, and third overall.[60] The team played Croatia in the semi-final, resulting in a 2–1 loss after extra time.[61] England would later finish fourth in the competition, the best result since 1990. England would lose again to Belgium in the 3rd place playoff, thanks to goals from Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard, despite a Eric Dier shot being cleared off the line by Toby Alderweireld.[62]

text: The tournament would see England score nine goals from set-pieces – the most by a team in a single World Cup tournament since 1966.[63]

text: Refereeing[edit]

text: Four FIFA World Cup finals were officiated by English referees, more than by any other football association. The first Englishman to officiate a final, George Reader, is also the oldest World Cup referee to date, as he was 53 years and 236 days old at the 1950 decisive match between Uruguay and Brazil. The other final referees are William Ling (1954), Jack Taylor (1974) and Howard Webb (2010).

text: Arthur Ellis, who was a linesman at the 1950 final, is part of an elite group of referees who has been called up for three consecutive World Cups (1950–1958).

text: Pamela Baird (born Pamela Beaird on April 6, 1945) is an American former actress, best known for her role as "Mary Ellen Rogers", the girlfriend of "Wally Cleaver" on the classic sitcom, Leave It to Beaver. She appeared in seven of the show's 235 episodes, but her name was mentioned in many other segments. Mary Ellen and Wally eventually wed, as they were shown as a married couple in the 1983 reunion movie Still the Beaver and the subsequent The New Leave It to Beaver series (in which Janice Kent played Mary Ellen).

tag: p

text: Prior to Leave It to Beaver, Baird appeared as Hildy Broeberg in ten episodes of the CBS western series My Friend Flicka (1956–1957), starring Johnny Washbrook, Gene Evans, Anita Louise, and Frank Ferguson. Baird also appeared as one of Kelly's {Noreen Corcoran} friends on the sitcom Bachelor Father.

text: She is now married, has five children, and is legally named Pamela Beaird Hensley.

text: She attended Covina High School, and graduated from Westminster Choir College, Princeton, New Jersey in 1968. She graduated in 2005 with a degree in music from Southwestern Assemblies of God University.


document_title: Bill Knapp's

question_text: when did bill knapps go out of business

question_tokens: when did bill knapps go out of business

text: Bill Knapp's

text: The menu[edit]

text: Bill Knapp's featured a menu primarily filled with typical family dining items. The menu included a limited breakfast, sandwiches, baskets, and luncheon and dinner plates. A children's menu, featuring meals named for animals, was also offered. Recipes for their fried chicken, bean soup, ham croquettes, vegetable soup, onion rings, au gratin potatoes, and chocolate cakes (later purchased by Awrey Bakeries)[2] were also featured. Locations replenished inventory on a daily basis from the commissary in Battle Creek, Mich. with their own fleet of trucks. Bill Knapp placed great emphasis on the quality and freshness of the food, with added emphasis on preparing the food "from scratch."[3]

text: Demographics[edit]

text: Bill Knapp "was interested in providing decent food for a reasonable price with friendly service." The target clientele of his restaurants was families, often three generations eating together at long tables pushed together. As the decades passed, the clientele remained nearly the same as it had when the first restaurant of the chain opened in 1948. By the 1980s and 1990s, with the breakdown of extended families, the clientele was predominantly senior citizens.[citation needed]

text: In 1998, after its sale to an entrepreneur from California, Bill Knapp's instituted a "That was then, this is WOW" marketing campaign, as well as an overall revamp of the chain's image. The new ownership hung colorful shower curtains between eating booths, played rock and roll music (often loudly) throughout the dining areas, revised old building exteriors with newer, hipper color schemes, and further changes, including the installation of televisions and video games in restaurants.[4][5]

text: The "That was then, this is WOW" campaign not only changed the interior and exterior décor, but the menu as well. Prior to 1996, Bill Knapp's cuisine was prepared, home style, in a commissary which supplied all of its restaurants daily or every other day. In an effort to cut costs, the commissary model was abandoned in favor of purchasing food from food services local to each restaurant, as well as substituting Lipton soups and Kraft macaroni and cheese for the previously home-made versions provided by the commissary.[citation needed]

text: Downfall[edit]

text: This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (June 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)

text: This overhaul of the chain's demographics, however, proved unsuccessful. Loyal diners felt alienated by the changes made; abandonment of Mr. Knapp's "from-scratch" philosophy drove these loyal customers away for good. Furthermore, the campaign failed to recruit the younger-family crowd, resulting in further erosion of the chain's customer base.

text: Another reason for the shift away from the made-from-scratch philosophy was a Listeria outbreak in the early 1990s. As the restaurant struggled to recover from the negative publicity, many new, updated food safety standards were initiated. Some food preparation that was taking place in the restaurants had to be moved back to the commissaries, to be monitored more closely. This was not as cost effective, as more foods needed to be processed and frozen to ensure safety. As commissary costs continued to rise, more of Bill Knapp's signature foods had to be outsourced to larger processing facilities.

text: By 2000, the commissaries were becoming little more than distribution centers. Fresh, handmade hamburger patties were replaced by frozen, eggs by a powdered substitute, and even the marinated chicken breasts were coming in frozen packages. (Raw chicken breasts had been marinated overnight in the restaurants.) While the organization elevated food safety standards, higher costs combined with lower quality led the chain to its ultimate downfall.

text: In 2001, Bill Knapp's tried to reverse course by announcing that "The Tradition is Back," restoring the original menu and some original décor, but by then it was too late.[3]

text: On Tuesday May 21, 2002, Bill Knapp’s filed for voluntary Chapter 11 protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the  Western District of Michigan. At the time company operated 29 restaurants.[6]

text: By the end of 2002, the chain's last restaurant had closed.[7]

text: Chocolate cake legacy[edit]

text: Bill Knapp's 6-inch chocolate birthday cakes, officially known as Bill Knapp's Celebration Cakes, were regarded as one of the chain's dearest features.[3] Because of the popularity of the cakes, Awrey's Bakery purchased the rights to make them,[8] following Bill Knapp's original recipe.[9] The cakes are available from Awrey's in-store bakery and at many Kroger Stores as well. Winn-Dixie and Kroger now also carry Bill Knapp's Chocolate, Nutty, and Glazed Dunkers.

Memorable moments including Kalon's arrival by helicopter, Travis's carrying an ostrich egg and Jef's skateboard throwing at the entrance of the mansion.

text: Week 2[edit]

text: Original airdate: May 21, 2012

text: The nineteen remaining suitors moved into a mansion in Charlotte, North Carolina prior to the start of the second episode.

text: 1-on-1: Ryan. The two went to Emily's house to bake cookies for Ricki's soccer team. "You don't watch The Bachelor and think you're going to be baking cookies on the first date, but I'm willing to do most anything for Emily," Ryan said, and his easygoing attitude about the date impressed her. Back at the house, the boys speculated how soon they would be able to meet Emily's daughter (he agreed to wait at Emily's request), and whether or not she and Ryan would have chemistry. The two had dinner together, where Ryan talked about how he believed he needed to pursue a woman and step out of his comfort zone to win her heart, which worried Emily. She told Ryan she did not want him to see falling in love with her as a contest, and he agreed with her. Later they saw a concert by the country band Gloriana and danced to "(Kissed You) Good Night". He received a rose.

text: Group: Jef, Kalon, Alejandro, Alessandro, Tony, Chris, Charlie, Aaron, Kyle, Nathan, Michael, Stevie and John. The men performed a charity show with The Muppets for the Levine Children's Hospital where they were chosen to either sing, dance or perform stand-up comedy. Tony confessed that he grew up with The Muppets and did a Kermit the Frog voice. Then during the after party Kalon and Stevie had an altercation. Charlie opened up to Emily about his speech difficulties resulting from a past accident. Emily gave Jef the group date rose.

text: 1-on-1: Joe. The couple take a private airplane to West Virginia to a resort Emily remembered from her childhood called the Greenbrier and there was a love clock. Emily did not feel any chemistry with Joe. She didn't give him a rose, and he was sent home.

text: Week 3[edit]

text: Original airdate: May 28, 2012

text: Group: Charlie, Alejandro, Stevie, Alessandro, Sean, Ryan, John, Michael, Doug, Jef, Tony and Travis. The men were grilled on parenting by Emily's friends, and they were put to the test by a bunch of rambunctious kids. During the interviews, Sean did shirtless push-ups for Emily's friends, who took a liking to him. During the after party, Doug revealed that he was a foster child. Emily thought it was best for Tony to leave the competition before the date ended because he missed his son after playing with the children at the park which also had Doug miss his son. Emily gave Sean the group date rose.

text: 1-on-1: Arie. The couple took a private airplane to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee for a tour of the park. Emily then met her idol, country singer Dolly Parton. Arie and Emily danced to a song that Dolly wrote for them, and Emily gave Arie a rose.

text: Rose Ceremony: During the cocktail party, Emily asked Alessandro to leave the competition after he called Emily and her daughter "a compromise". At the Rose ceremony, Stevie was the only bachelor sent home. Thirteen men remain to travel with Emily to their first international destination, Bermuda.

text: Week 4[edit]

text: Original airdate: June 4, 2012

text: Located in: Bermuda

tag: ul

text: 1-on-1: Doug. The other men joked with Doug about the potential outcome of his date, which caused tension to build among the bachelors. Emily hoped her date with Doug would resolve the bad blood between the men. The two went shopping around town in Bermuda, they wrote a postcard for Doug's son, Austin, in response to the letter that Austin wrote to Emily before the season premiere. The pair walked through the Moon Gate together. Emily then gave Doug a rose.

text: Group: Charlie, Ryan, Chris, Jef, Sean, Arie, Travis, and Kalon. The bachelors were divided into two teams for a sailing competition. During the race, Jef injured his finger. The Yellow Team (Arie, Ryan, Jef, and Kalon) won the race. They got to have dinner with Emily, while the Red Team went home early. Charlie was upset that he couldn't stay on the date, and he cried on the ride home. At dinner, Ryan made a toast to Emily, his "trophy wife," which disgusted Arie. Arie told Emily that the guys have been giving him a hard time since they caught him kissing Emily at last week's cocktail party. Emily was disappointed with Jef for not kissing her during their alone time. Ryan told Emily that he was upset with her for kissing Arie in front of the other guys. Emily gave the group date rose to Jef, who confessed that he was beginning to fall for Emily.

text: 2-on-1: John and Nathan. The guys thought that John would stay because he was older. Chris, one of the younger bachelors, was offended by the comments made by Doug. Emily, John, and Nathan jumped off cliffs together before having dinner in one of the nearby caves. After dinner, Emily felt a stronger connection with John and gave him the 2-on-1 rose. Nathan was subsequently sent home.

text: The Rose Ceremony: Emily spent her time during the cocktail hour talking to all of the men. Ryan remarked that if he were eliminated, he would want to be the next Bachelor. Doug and Chris had an argument about Doug's earlier comments about his age. At the rose ceremony, Michael and Charlie were eliminated, leaving ten men to travel with Emily to London, England.

text: Week 5[edit]

text: Original airdate: June 11, 2012

text: Located in: London

text: 1-on-1: Sean. The pair took a private double-decker bus for a tour of London and kissed outside Buckingham Palace. Sean was asked to speak on the famous Speaker's Corner, where he professed that he felt hopeful that he would find true love with Emily. They had a quiet picnic together, and Emily gave Sean a rose.

text: Group: Alejandro, Chris, Ryan, Doug, Kalon, Arie, Travis and John. Emily and the bachelors went to Stratford-upon-Avon, where they performed scenes from Romeo and Juliet. Kalon, Ryan, Alejandro and John played Romeo, while Arie and Doug had to play the female nurse role. Ryan kissed Emily twice during his scene with her. Afterward in a pub, Ryan gave Emily a turquoise necklace. Meanwhile, Kalon referred to Emily's daughter, Ricki, as "baggage", which infuriated the other bachelors and prompted Doug to tell Emily about it. Heartbroken, she sent Kalon home immediately, telling him to "get the f*** out".[clarification needed] The men were impressed with the way Emily handled the situation, but she was too upset to hand out the group date rose. She was upset that no one came to her sooner, and she was worried that the men did not have her best interests at heart. During the Men Tell All, she revealed she made a mistake for not giving out the rose and would have given it to Doug for telling her about the Kalon situation.

text: 1-on-1: Jef. The two went to a traditional afternoon tea, where a housekeeper constantly corrected their etiquette. They escaped to a pub, where Jef told Emily that when Kalon made his comment about Ricki, he confronted him about it. Emily felt reassured that Jef had fought for her. The two then went for dessert in the London Eye, ending their date with their first kiss. Emily gave Jef a rose.

text: The Rose Ceremony: Emily was still angry with all of the men on the group date for not being more protective of her. She specifically confronted Arie, telling him how disappointed she was in him. At the rose ceremony, Arie and Alejandro were the last two men standing. Emily made Arie sweat it out until the end, but she gave him the final rose. Alejandro was eliminated, and the eight men left traveled with Emily to Croatia.

text: Week 6[edit]

text: Original Airdate June 18, 2012

text: Located in: Croatia

text: 1-on-1: Travis. The pair went to Dubrovnik, Croatia where Emily asked Travis to stand on the city's famed "balancing stone". According to an old legend, if a man can stand on the stone and take off his shirt or his jacket, he and his love will be together forever. Travis stood on the stone, but he didn't take his clothes off. At dinner, Travis opened up to Emily about his past engagement and his lack of dating since the break-up. In the end, Emily couldn't see Travis as more than a friend. She didn't give him a rose, and Travis was eliminated.

text: Group: John, Doug, Chris, Jef, Arie and Sean. The boys and Emily went to a theater to watch the new Disney movie Brave. After the movie, the men were forced to wear kilts and compete in their own version of the "Highland Games" from the movie. The three tasks were archery, caber toss and a two-on-one tug of war-esque game. All of the men excelled at the games except for Chris. Emily then awarded Chris the "Bravery Cup", much to Sean's dismay. At dinner, Sean, Jef, Arie and Chris were shown having alone time with Emily, all sharing kisses with her. Arie ended his alone time with Emily by pinning her against a wall and passionately kissing her. Still, Arie's hopes of getting a rose were dashed when Emily gave the group date rose to Chris.

text: 1-on-1: Ryan. The other men in the house were annoyed with Ryan's pompous attitude. Emily and Ryan went on a road trip together, where they went fishing for oysters. After their fishing expedition, Ryan again called Emily his perfect "trophy wife". Emily was disturbed with the language that Ryan used to describe his future wife. When Ryan showed Emily his list of qualities that he looks for in his wife, Emily decided that she could not give Ryan a rose. Ryan tried to persuade Emily to let him stay, but she stuck to her guns, and Ryan was eliminated.

text: Arie snuck out of the guys' hotel to where Emily was staying to visit her after her date with Ryan. He apologized for not protecting her more in London, and he promised that he would always have her back. Jokingly, Emily gave Arie the rose that was meant for Ryan as a secret way of assuring him of her feelings. After leaving, Arie confessed that he is in love with Emily.

text: Rose Ceremony: Emily openly voiced her concerns about her feelings for John and Doug. John pleasantly surprised Emily by opening up to her about his deceased grandparents, while Emily needed to coax Doug to even put his arm around her. Emily gave roses to Sean, Jef and Arie. With one rose left, Emily left the room to talk to Chris Harrison. When she returned, she told the men that she was unsure of herself, and she didn't want to miss out on a great relationship with any of them. Chris Harrison then re-entered the room with not one, but two more roses, meaning that all of the men were safe. Emily then gave the final two roses to John and Doug as she announced that the six of them would be traveling to Prague with her.

text: Week 7[edit]

text: Original Airdate June 25, 2012

text: Located in: Prague

text: 1-on-1: Arie. The pair took a tour of Prague with Emily as the tour guide. Emily was furious when she found out that Arie was in a relationship over ten years ago with a show producer, Cassie Lambert, who is one of Emily's close friends. The three involved discussed the incident off-camera, where Emily apologized for overreacting and she and Arie continued their romance.

text: 1-on-1: John. They took a boat ride, and they painted on the Lennon Wall. They then followed a Czech tradition by putting a padlock on a gate to give them eternal love, but Emily couldn't help but notice the symbolism behind John's difficulty with the lock. Regardless, they later had dinner in a dungeon. No 1-on-1 rose was given out; John had to wait until the rose ceremony to learn his fate.

text: Group: Chris, Sean, and Doug. Chris was upset that he didn't get a 1-on-1 date. Emily asked Doug to leave the competition in the middle of the date because she gave him too many chances to make his move, and she thought he needed to be home with his son. Chris thought he was going to get the group date rose, but Emily gave the rose to Sean instead.

text: 1-on-1: Jef. The pair went to a puppet store, with Jef buying a third puppet for Ricki. They went to an old library and acted out their journey on the show with their puppets. After this, they laid on the floor and talked about their future together. No 1-on-1 rose was given out; Jef had to wait until the rose ceremony to learn his fate.

text: Rose Ceremony: Emily decided to cancel the cocktail party because she already had her mind made up. She gave the first two roses to Jef and Arie. With one rose left, Chris asked to speak with Emily where he pleaded his case to her. Upon their return to the ceremony, Emily gave Chris the final rose, forcing John to go home. Emily will now travel to meet the families of Sean, Arie, Jef and Chris.

text: Week 8[edit]

text: Original Airdate July 2, 2012

text: Located in: Hometowns

text: Chris: Chris' hometown date was first in Chicago, Illinois. Emily and Chris went to a Polish restaurant, and then met his parents and two sisters. Chris' older sister was critical of Emily, but Chris' dad told Emily that he knows his son feels strongly for her. Chris' family treated Emily to traditional Polish song and dance. Chris ended the night by telling Emily that he loves her.

text: Jef: Jef's hometown date took place at his family's ranch near St. George, Utah. Jef took Emily for a ride on an ATV, and then they went clay pigeon shooting. Emily pretended to not know how to work a gun, but in reality, she took lessons at home in North Carolina. Jef's parents were in South Carolina doing charity work. Therefore, Emily only met Jef's siblings: his two older brothers, his two sisters and his sister-in-law. Jef's brother wasn't sure if Jef was ready to be a father to Ricki, but after seeing Jef with Emily, he grew to accept their relationship. Jef concluded his date by reading Emily a letter that he wrote to her on the plane ride home from Prague, ending the letter by telling her that he is hopelessly in love with her.

text: Arie: Emily met Arie for his hometown date at Phoenix International Raceway where she suited up and rode with Arie in his IndyCar. Emily never experienced IndyCar racing, but she was comfortable due to her past involvement with NASCAR. Arie told Emily that he knew they would have to win over his mother when they met his family. Emily met Arie's parents, Arie, Sr. and Mieke, his younger twin brothers and his sister. Emily was uncomfortable when Arie's mother began speaking to her son in Dutch. Arie apologized because he doesn't like speaking Dutch in front of people who can't understand it. Emily spoke with Arie's mother, who strongly approved of her son's relationship. Arie told his father that he couldn't wait to propose to Emily.

text: Sean: Emily's last hometown date took place in Dallas, Texas with Sean. Emily met Sean's family including his parents, his sister, his brother-in-law, former football player Andrew Shull and his niece and nephew. Emily fell in love with the atmosphere in which Sean lives, and she thought she could see her and Ricki living there. Sean played a joke on Emily by leading her to believe that he still lived at home in a room filled with stuffed animals. Emily was relieved to learn that it was a joke. As she rode away from Sean's home, he chased her down the block to give her one last kiss goodbye.

text: Rose Ceremony: At the rose ceremony, Emily became emotional because she didn't want the families of the men to think that they did anything wrong. She gave roses to Arie, Jef and Sean, which meant that Chris was eliminated. He was shocked by her decision, and he was upset that she couldn't give him a reason as to why she was sending him home. Chris left, angry and heartbroken, while Emily announced to the final three contenders that they would be spending their last week on the island of Curaçao.

text: Week 9[edit]

text: Original Airdate July 9, 2012

text: Located in: Curaçao

text: Sean: Emily & Sean flew to a private island together. She wanted him to open up about how he felt about her, but he didn't really know how. Emily described their relationship as a slow-and-steady process that grows better with time. They go snorkeling and have dinner that night on a beach. Sean read her a letter that he wrote for Ricki and he also told her that he was falling in love with her. Emily offered him the overnight date card to spend more time with him, but he did not stay the night as it didn't line up with Emily's beliefs and the example that she wanted to set for her daughter.

text: Jef: Emily & Jef spent the day on a boat. They also went paddle-surfing and cliff-jumping. Emily felt like they balanced each other well and Jef was comfortable with how their relationship was progressing. He also wondered about how he would fit in with Emily & Ricki's life, as that was the one aspect of Emily's life that he hadn't been exposed to yet. Emily also asks him to stay on their date for a bit longer, although they don't spend the night together, with both of them knowing that the fantasy suite wouldn't change a thing about their relationship.

text: Arie: Emily & Arie went swimming with dolphins in the middle of the ocean. They commented on the obvious physical attraction that they have towards one another. They also have dinner that night at Emily's place. They attempt to learn more about one another and about each other's daily lives. Emily mentioned that although she did want to offer Arie the overnight date card, she couldn't because she didn't trust herself and escorted him out right after dinner.

text: Rose Ceremony: Sean is eliminated at the rose ceremony.

text: Week 10 (Finale)[edit]

text: Original Airdate July 22, 2012

text: Located in: Curaçao

text: Jef and Arie start off meeting Emily's family. This includes her parents, Dave and Suzy, as well as her older brother, Ernie, and his wife. Both men ask for Emily's father's permission for his blessing if either of them were to get engaged to Emily. Her family collectively approves both guys and aren't able to give her a clear preference, which was what she was looking for. Her mother advises her to wait on an engagement if she isn't completely ready, something that Emily takes to heart.

text: A few days later, Jef is the first one to have his last date with Emily. He tells Emily that he had kept Ricki in mind throughout the whole process and expresses interest in meeting her before the experience is over, as her daughter is the only part of her life that he didn't know. Emily agrees and decides to let Jef meet Ricki back at the hotel that the two were staying at. The three have a pool day, with Emily being impressed at how comfortable Ricki had become around Jef in such a short amount of time. During the dinner portion of their date, Jef gives Emily a book about Curaçao, so that the two would always remember their adventures on The Bachelorette together.

text: The next day, Emily meets up with Chris Harrison. She reveals that she has already picked Jef in her heart and doesn't want to put Arie through an unnecessary final date. She gets emotional while thinking about how to tell Arie that he isn't the one. Meanwhile, Arie is confident in his relationship with Emily and fully plans on proposing to her at the end. He creates a love potion for her right before she comes to deliver the bad news. She sends a confused and upset Arie home while in tears.

text: At the final rose ceremony, Emily tells Jef that he was the only man left, having also been the only guy to meet her daughter and the only one to even receive a last date. She officially declares her love for him and as does he. Jef proposes to Emily and she says yes. The engaged couple are then joined by Ricki and the three walk off of the show hand-in-hand.

text: Post-show[edit]

text: After the final rose[edit]

text: The "After the Final Rose" episode aired on Sunday July 22, 2012. The episode was done live rather than pre-taped and it aired right after the season finale, this was the second time in the show, season three was the first. Former bachelorettes Ashley Hebert and her fiancé J.P. Rosenbaum, Ashley Spivey, DeAnna Pappas and former bachelor Michael Stagliano were present at the live event.

text: Arie, runner up, confronted Emily about his elimination. The viewers learned that after the show was finished taping, he had difficulty finding closure with the demise of his relationship with Emily. He took it upon himself to fly to her home town of Charlotte, N.C. to see her. When he arrived there, he regretted his decision because he thought it would be an intrusion into her life and her daughter's life. Instead, he left his diary on her doorstep in hopes that it would clarify any doubts she had about his feelings toward her. Emily chose not to read the diary out of respect for him and Jef (her fiance). She returned the diary to him on the live portion of the show.

text: Next, Jef came onto the stage and he and Emily were introduced to the public for the first time as an engaged couple. Jef confirmed that their relationship had been progressing well and he had begun to form a bond with her daughter Ricki. Emily and Jef let the public know that they would be going to Africa later in the year to do some charity work with Jef's company People Water, and they decided that Jef would move to Charlotte to be with Emily primarily because they did not think it would be a good idea to uproot Ricki from her life. The couple would live separately until the wedding. A wedding date had not yet been set.

text: On October 16, 2012, just months after their public engagement, the couple announced their breakup.[18][19]
