When your stadium isn't big enough for the World Cup you're about to host

Good view from the back - Ekaterinburg Arena needed more seats to meet the 35,000 seater capacity for next summer's World Cup, so the Russian FA have decided to just build them outside the stadium... #WC2018 pic.twitter.com/7VKJXbCWeE

Being afraid of heights myself that looks pretty scary.

Why can't the World Cup just be held in England, Germany and the USA everytime? It seems like those are the only countries that don't have to suffer big losses to host a World Cup.
