Why do these organisations continue to give events like this to countries that can't host them properly?

I have always believed a inspection should be made about 8 months before the tournament starts and if stadiums are not ready they should have to forfeit the tournament to the country that hosted the last one

Am I being really un-British to say "I don't really care who wins"?

Because I don't.

I would rather a really unexpected team (with no hope) came out & destroyed the teams who are expected to do well

Because it makes it difficult for the English to get there
